Short Links and Market News

We all know the value of "best of" lists but I thought this one might interest some of you. They've put together a list of the 10 best short story collections of '00's. While they're mostly sci-fi and fantasy there's a few that might interest readers here and the comments section contains a great many more not included on the list. http://www.avclub.com/articles/the-10-best-shortstory-collectons-of-the-00s,35747/

John Fox has an interesting interview with short story writer Tod Goldberg about his new collection of shorts. http://www.thejohnfox.com/bookfox

And a bit of market news:

The theme for the Scalped spring issue is torture with a February 21 deadline. http://www.scalpedmagazine.com/index.html

And finally two new zines looking to get off the ground.

I am, of course, drawn towards Bastards & Whores. But that's another story.
