    With the inclusion of the short story categories in the Spinetingler Awards I read A LOT more short fiction then I normally do. So I found myself the other day starting an article on short fiction and the various collections and anthologies that I had read.

    I still may finish it if I can find the time but seeing yours and your similar thought process was amusing. Great minds…

      I hope you do finish it. There is a lot of great work going on in the format these days; it can’t get too much attention as far as I’m concerned.
