@paultremblay.bsky.social's story "Do It" involves both my favorite—a pizzeria—and my least favorite—cash-only joints with an on-site ATM.

"Do It" is not only the name of the story and a Buzzcocks song, but what I am telling you by pasting in the pre-order link:

🎸 The music of the Alternative Era was the soundtrack to our lives, and sometimes our deaths.

Our anthology edited by @nmamatas.bsky.social has writers focus on the music of their generations while constructing a mystery, crime, noir, gothic, or horror story inspired by the song of their choice.

And secondly... I'm thrilled that 'The Colour of the Ninth Wave' is included in Gamut Magazine's F&SF issue! Get ready for an Old Irish-inspired revenge story about a father and daughter taking on an ancient crow-god 🐦 🌊 🖤 Loving the artwork for this one!
