Yog-Sothoth.com reports that a new anthology of mythos fiction set in the old west is soon to be released by Chaosium.

Frontier Cthulhu is edited by William Jones.

Lovecraftian fiction set in the Old West is probably my favorite obscure sub-sub-genre.  I'm happy to see my writer friend and fellow Texan Ron Shiflet has a story in this new collection.

I don't, but then all these guys are better writers (and undoubtedly more prolific) than I am.

I'll take this opportunity to flog my own bookblog The Last Ancient House, wherein one can read my own attempts at poetry and fiction if one is so inclined and has some time to waste.

There is one story that was part of TLAH (titled Lamentry), but I removed it because it is also in Hell's Hangmen, and I wouldn't want to do anything to undercut sales, being the shameless capitalist that I am.

Sometimes I think I should just stop this blogging thing for a while and focus all my energy on writing a new short story or two.

Ryan Horsely has a new blog called Red's Trading Post.  Horsely is the manager of a gun store in Idaho and is being harassed by the jack-booted thugs of the BATF.  Keep an eye on his blog for all the latest updates.

If you are unfamiliar with the story of Red's Trading Post, just follow this link for plenty of info, once again thanks to The War On Guns.

And just in case any reader of this blog isn't already familiar with my own viewpoint on the BATF, just check out this list of BATF blog posts.

I first blogged about this here.  In that post, I said that I hoped the justice system nailed him to the wall, if the story happened as reported.  Apparently, it did not.

Mallot was found to have used justifiable lethal self defense.  New article at Click2Houston.com.  (Via Xavier).  Mallot did not testify himself, but several witnesses did.

I'm glad for Mr. Mallot, and glad my initial reaction turned out to be incorrect.
