“Tumbling Nancy” by Ian R. MacLeod

Story 205/366
This is a hilarious story about an ambitious literary agent, a Big Lie, and the state of publishing. I don’t know MacLeod’s work but having been to his website, am delighted to know he’s written a lot, so I have much to look forward to in discovering his work. “Tumbling Nancy” appeared in the Summer 2012 edition of Subterranean Online Magazine. You can read it here.
See you tomorrow!
“Man Changes Mind” by Jason Armstrong

Story 204/366
An unnamed narrator rambles on about his career plans, seriously considering the pros ad cons of becoming a serial killer. Theh story is from the collection Bad as Fuck. I first read about this collection on Chris Rhatigan’s blog and bought it immediately (it’s only 99 cents) but it took me awhile to get around to reading it. Which is too bad. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
See you tomorrow!
