Last Drink Bird Head, a neat anthology the proceeds of which go to ProLiteracy, is available for pre-order from Wyrm Publishing, at a 5 buck discount. Ann and Jeff Vandermeer are the editors, so you can be sure it is all quality stuff. Go here for details.
To celebrate the occassion, I give an extract from my contribution:
Thick, soft, doughy muscles, body anointed with mustard paste; he was short with a sharp nose and hair on his back.
He wore neck-weights, did rigorous squats and plyometric press-ups and exercised with a thick length of bamboo to which a large stone was affixed. He ate pulses and fish seasoned with turmeric and drank chickpea water.
