In case you missed it, Machine of Death opens with my story “Flaming Marshmallow and Other Deaths,” which was recently translated into French solo for Galaxies Magazine and into several other languages as part of the original anthology. From the Machine of Death site:
If you speak Italian, or know folks who do, or just want to own this amazing thing, you can get a copy of La Macchina Della Morte in either paperback or Kindle edition via Amazon.it.
I own a copy. Maybe you want to too?
Claude Lalumière and I have reviewed CHRONICLE for Locus Magazine Online. Hint: we kind of liked it.
