Were you aware that Subterranean is also coming out with a Best of Lucius Shepard early next year?
Oh yeah. I've preordered the limited edition, so as not to miss another Griaule story. I wish someone would publish all the dragon stories together; there's been talk of it, including one or more new stories. The problem for me is that he writes faster than I can read. This is a good problem. :oD

It's good to see someone else with the Silverberg collections from Sub Press. I grew my love of sf with 1960's and 1970's Silverberg, Bradbury, and Heinlein. I also share your interest in Simmons, who I've only begun reading in the last couple years.

Whoa, I see you're fanatical about Lucius Shepard, as I am! Now there's one writer who isn't nearly as well known as he deserves to be. I can't remember another single writer who I've been as excited to discover, as I have been, discovering him in the last few months. He rocks my socks. Keep reading his newer stuff, too! Handbook of American Prayer blew me away, and right now I'm loving the collection of stories named after Trujillo, put out by PS Publishing. If you ever come across a copy, it's worth getting.

I like your photo!
