That’s 24 stories – every story of mine published from 2004 to 2010 except three, which could not appear due to contractual exclusivity periods which will not have expired before the book comes out:
- P.R. Problems
- An Early Ford Mustang
- Bird-Dropping and Sunday
And, of course, there’s one story in there which has never before been published: “The Day the Music Died.â€
Fifteen and a half of the stories are science fiction; eight and a half are fantasy and/or horror. (I’m counting “The Robot Sorcerer†as half and half.)
