Flinch On Newsarama And ABC
FLINCH, which features my stories White Dove III and 96000m is coming in May from Gestalt Comics and the publicity has begun. This stunning anthology, which features the work of Shaun Tan, Tom Bonin, James Barclay, Justin Randall, Bobby N, Colin Wilson, Terry Dowling and a host of other amazing creators has, unsurprisingly, started attracting a bit of media attention.
There was a story on ABC online yesterday and FLINCH was the feature story on Newsarama last I checked.
My fantastic editor Wolfgang Bylsma, who is at this moment tirelessly working to get The Example ready for Supanova instead of sleeping, talked up 96000m in the interview.
Bylsma picks “96,000m” by Tom Taylor and Tom Bonin as the book’s most offbeat interpretation of the word “flinch.” “I refer to the story endearingly as ‘Giant Squids and the Men Who Love Them,’” Bylsma says. “I’ll leave the rest up to your imagination…”
