Those Who Make Us has a final cover, and the anthology can now be preordered here:

What resides beneath the blankets of snow, under the ripples of water, within the whispers of the wind, and between the husks of trees all across Canada? Creatures, myths and monsters are everywhere…even if we don’t always see them. This is a unique and powerful collection of all-new, cross-genre tales that take the reader into real and imagined worlds, ranging from an encounter with the Metis creature Rugaru to trolls dissatisfied with modern life, to the demons who follow us from our parents’ countries, and to Anishinaabe myths about the creation of creeks. Twenty emerging and award-winning authors explore the way we think about and interact with the unnatural – showing how much the stories we create can teach us about what it means to be human.Authors: Helen Marshall, Renee Salkikar, Nathan Adler, Kate Story, Braydon Beaulieu, Chadwick Ginther, Dominik Parisien, Stephen Michell, Andrew Wilmot, Rati Mehrotra, Rebecca Schaeffer, Delani Valin, Corey Redekop, Angeline Woon, Michal Wojcik, Andrea Bradley, Alex C. Renwick and Andrew Sullivan.

My contribution is a Thunder Road ‘verse story entitled “A Door in the Rock” which is set in Flin Flon and is full of dwarves and trolls and Chevy Suburbans. I’m very pleased with how this one turned out and I hope you’ll enjoy it. Thank you, as always, to David Jón Fuller for the Icelandic language assist.

So glad to be a part of this anthology! It includes so many great writers whose work I’ve loved, and so many more whose work I’m about to discover. And this makes three anthologies I’ve shared with Corey Redekop and four with Alex Renwick. Maybe we’ll need to put out a collection…

Write on!
