Warning, ego-boo coming :-) : I recently had the honor & pleasure to have one of my tales, Bar Nana, accepted in a forthcoming steampunk anthology from Horrified Press imprint Thirteen OClock Press entitled STEAMWORLD. It is edited by the multi-talented horror writer George Wilhite (his latest excellent collection is called Silhouette Of Darkness). While my story itself would not really fit, I think, in the grand and wonderful STEAMPUNK CTHULHU: Mythos Terror In The Age Of Steam collection (currently available from Chaosium Fiction) as it is basically on the whole a Japanese/Korean steampunk piece, there are Mythos elements weaved into my tale which might interest members of this site, such as: The mad poet Justin Geoffrey has a cameo in it; Miskatonic University plays a role; there are Tcho Tcho People references along with their sacred forbidden codex The Book Of Cracked Jade (Gumi-Gan-Ok Chaek); Shub-Niggurath is in it with Her Call Girl club; mention of Hastur, Ithaqua and the Three Obscenities Twins Lloigor and Zhar (yes, there is a 3rd one, but youll have to read it to find out the Third Twins name LOL) and the overall story is dedicated to Christophe des Laurieres which is one of Clark Ashton Smiths pseudonyms (in fact, one of the characters is strongly based on Smith and has the last name of des Laurieres). :)
