This morning, editor C. M. Muller announced the Table of Contents for the inaugural volume of Nightscript, an anthology slated to be published annually. I am honored to have my story, “The Cuckoo Girls,” included in this amazing line-up.

Nightscript, Volume 1 will be available in October, 2015. In the meantime, you can keep up-to-date by following Nightscript on Facebook.
