I received my authors' copies of the book today and it came out gorgeous, with the orange-red flames motif continuing onto the back jacket with black and orange flames. Tor's art department outdid itself this time. I've got to run and thank Irene Gallo and her colleagues again....

Also, Booklist will be running a rave review in its December 15th issue. The last line is:

"Eschewing many of the horror genre’s common motifs, the stories here achieve unsettling effects with less mayhem and more pure craftsmanship, so that this is one of the best recent collections of horror as literature."

I almost forgot to mention that when I return from my week-long visit to Maine (if I get there tomorrow --it's still snowing up there)I will likely do some sort of giveaway of copies of Inferno for those willing to blog about it.

Re: Inferno


Ellen: I've requested a review copy of INFERNO from Tor so I can review the book for the Dayton City Paper (you can find out more about us at www.daytoncitypaper.com). Upcoming reviews include the new books from both William Vollmann and Jhumpa Lahiri, so you're in stellar company.

It may not be Booklist, but I'll tell ya -- I adore your work, have since OMNI, and I read every anthology you have a hand in (the YBFH series is the best there is, bar none).

I was lucky enough to meet you (briefly) at World Horror Con in Stamford, CT in 1993. Thanks for introducing me to hundreds of remarkable stories -- and authors -- since that day.

Yours
Tim Case Walker

Re: Inferno


Hi Tim:
Great. If for some reason you have a problem getting it, let me know and I'll give them a nudge, but they're usually great sending out review copies.

Thank you--it does my editor's heart good to hear that.
You're very welcome --I hope I can continue to do so in the future.

Congrats, Ellen! I'm looking forward to getting a copy.
