Rabid Transit #5
At long last, hereās the TOC for Rabid Transit #5 (as-yet untitled), in no particular order:
āThe Mom Walk: A Story in Five Storiesā by Alice Kim
āMy Whole World Lies Waitingā by F. Brett Cox
āMountain, Manā by Heather Shaw
āShacklesā by Dave Schwartz
āThe Ghost Lineā by Meghan McCarron
āRelease the Batsā by Geoffrey H. Goodwin
Weāre thrilled about this sextet of stories, which all hang together and speak to each other in weird ways that weāre not able to pin down. Look for this at Wiscon!
Rabid Transit 5: Teh Awesome.
Itās got a ring to it.
Also: Yippee! Good company, there.
I second mister schwartz re: the title
Me three, chiming in with what a lovely list of writers that is. (Except for me. Iām a hack.)
By the way, hi everyone ā especially David. Iām Geoffrey. I write for Bookslut and Iām 95.2% certain that we met when Gavin and I read in Chicago, many moons ago. I hope you remember what a fan of your work I am.
Geoffrey, right back at you! Yeah, I remember it well; that was during the Perpetual Motion Roadshow. That story you read there blew me away. I was psyched to see your name in the TOC ā canāt wait to read your story!
I, also, am delighted to be in such fine company. Greatly looking forward to the issue.
I made the comment in Davidās blog, but it seemed worth snarching:
Three of us, and the spouse of another, were in LCRW #13. The other two are recent Clarionites, I think ā so all they have to do is invent time travel, go back and be in LCRW #13 too.
Or something.
Either way, itās a virus we should replicate, diametrically opposed to the virii we shouldnāt.
