August 31, 2009 Links and Plugs

I stumbled into the table of contents for Exotic Gothic 3 while researching for an interview. Even if you're not a fan of gothic fiction, you might want to check it out with names like Ekaterina Sedia, Zoran Zivkovic, Terry Dowling, Kaaron Warren, Brian Evenson, Steve Rasnic Tem, etc.

Tomorrow is Outer Alliance Pride Day while Support Our Zines Day has been moved to October 1, 2009.

And congrats to the Philippines Free Press award winners.
