DID YOU KNOW, ahem ahem, cough cough, that next week is the release of YOU CAN DO ANYTHING, MAGIC SKELETON, a very silly book of monstrous motivations by me and artist Natalie Metzger? Well, it’s true. It comes out next Tuesday, and as a result, I’m gonna be bopping around this ol’ Internet, polluting your brainwaves with whatever hot shit wants to come out of my fool’s mouth.
Let’s go through it, shall we?
Already Up:
Gabriela Pereira is one of my most favorite people, and I am never not happy to be on her podcast — the conversation always feels informal and fun and it’s one of those where I’m never looking at my watch except at the end, when I am forced to believe that our time is already up. In this one, we get into Magic Skeleton but a whole buncha other stuff too, should you care go give it a listen — Episode 352 of DIYMFA.
April 13th:
Quarantine Book Club, with Natalie Metzger, hosted by Mike Monteiro. I’ve been on QBC before, and it’s a blast — so this time being joined by Natalie Metzger is gonna be an absolute delight. Grab a ticket now.
April 16th:
Lehigh Valley Book Fest, in an event called — *checks notes* “Wendig After Dark.” It sounds sexier than intended, but I do not plan to be doing this conversation in a sultry, seductive voice. Unless you want that, but it costs extra. Anyway! I’ll be in conversation with Rob Dougherty. It’s run by Let’s Play Books, and you can order Magic Skeleton directly from them! They will ship.
April 24th:
Jeff Vandermeer, in conversation with, well, me. He’s got a book out, Hummingbird Salamander, which I found really brilliant — sharp, serious, David Fincherian stuff. A mystery, a puzzle, a warning. It’s really something else and it reads like a descent, like you’re falling into it. Anyway! Join us at the virtual Elliott Bay Book Company, won’t you?
Do I have any other news?
Maybe? Probably? I’ll be back Tuesday to remind you about Magic Skeleton.
Wanderers is out in France, and is… maybe doing well?
More as I know it!
POOF.

So excited for both the book and the podcast conversation with Gabriela Pereira! Magic Skeleton Fridays sounds like it should be a thing.
