Memorial Day: I'm having a relaxing weekend--for once. Last weekend was hectic; lots of social obligations. Yesterday, I finished proofreading/editing a collection of short stories by David G. Barnett. I need to e-mail the correx. to him sometime today. I'm reading a killer novella, "Confessions of the Archivist" by Patrick Lestewka. Kid's only 26 years-old and can write like Edward Lee. I'm also going to read The Haunting of Hill House by S. Jackson in the next day or so, too. Then, I'm going to read Asylum vol.'s 1 & 2 since I'm planning on submitting a story to the upcoming Asylum vol. 3.
