The anthology Tripping the Tale Fantastic: Weird Fiction by Deaf and Hard of Hearing Writers is now available to pre-order. From the blurb:
From haunted Civil War battlefields to a severed ear discovered on a nightly run; from lab-grown dinosaurs to forest creatures that steal away children under the cover of night; from deadly bio-engineered fleas to a burning teenage desire for cybernetic amputations: Deaf and hard of hearing authors from around the world bring you this fun, though oftentimes disturbing, collection of short fiction.
The editor, Chris Heuer, is an English professor at Gallaudet University in Washington D.C., so to be honest I was surprised at his enthusiasm for my story. ‘Starting from Scratch’, is pure sci-fi/horror pulp – it’s the one about bio-engineered fleas – and was a reworking of a story I wrote back in my teen years.
