“How to Stay Afloat When Drowning” selected for The Best Horror of the Year Volume 12.

Editor Ellen Datlow has selected my short story “How to Stay Afloat When Drowning” to appear in The Year’s Best Horror #12. The book will be out in the fall.

I highly recommend each of the volumes of Year’s Best Horror, not only for the selection of excellent fiction contained within but also for the comprehensive year in review summation and list of honorable mentions. A ton of work is put into those sections which serve as a snapshot of what is going on in that year and a reading guide to choose from at any time. All of Ellen Datlow’s books are both excellent gateways into the genre for new readers and masterful reads for long time readers.

Congratulations to all the contributors. So pleased to be sharing a table of contents with Sarah Langan and Gordon White.

I believe there are 11 first time contributors to this volume and I am one of them. Thank you again to Ellen Datlow for including the story in this volume !
