Have now edited all the stories in this beauty, and am spending an inordinate amount of time trying to sort the running order. As you do. You're not going to read them in order anyway, are you?

Have you read Tobi Ogundiran's "Jackal, Jackal?" I think you'll like it. The New York Times did.

Friends, magazine publishing is a perilous world. Amazon is dropping their mag subscriptions, and many zines are losing chunks of cash. Please find a way to continue to support Clarkesworld, The Dark, Nightmare, et al, via their Patreons or @WeightlessBooks

In fact, I highly recommend Weightless, as it's a one-stop INDIE shop for all your digital subscription needs. Seriously good bargains. You can get a Weird Horror magazine digital sub there at a discount.

Welp! The New York Times has an extremely favourable review of Tobi Ogundiran's "Jackal, Jackal."

“Vivid and twisted, ironic and stirring, the varied stories in the collection are told with verve. Ogundiran’s prose has a warm, enthusiastic vitality.”

It’s publication day for Tobi Ogundiran’s brilliant debut collection of dark fabulism and fables (and horror): “Jackal, Jackal: Tales of the Dark and Fantastic.”

I am very pleased to be able to publish this magnificent work.I was immediately captivated by the voice and the range and the sheer storytelling bravado. Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and Locus have lauded the collection.

And now you, dear readers, get to experience this book of dark wonder.

“Jackal, Jackal” is available everywhere.
