Pinckney Benedict Update!

Updates on the career of SIUC fiction writer Pinckney Benedict:

Look for THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF BEST NEW HORROR #20 (ed. Stephen Jones), which contains twenty-one pieces, among them his long apocalyptic story "The Beginnings of Sorrow."

AND, I quote Mr. Benedict here:

"My new collection of stories (and it's a big one: 14 pieces and 80,000+ words of fictiony goodness at last count) will be published in May 2010 by my good friend Kevin Morgan Watson at Press53. It will be called MIRACLE BOY AND OTHER STORIES. And we have a kick-ass cover photo.

It'll be my first volume in 15+ years. Kind of like Halley's Comet - don't miss it or you might not live long enough to see the next one!"

Press 53 will also publish Surreal South '09, edited by Laura and Pinckney Benedict!

In addition, PB will be a featured author in Appalachian Heritage Magazine in March 2010!
