I'm going to email the ms of Lovecraft Unbound to my editor today, as soon as he lets me know if he wants it in pieces or in one BIG file. (of course, I'll have to format the thing if he wants the latter). I put the stories in order.
And I've just finished agonizing over my introduction. I believe I've mentioned before how much I hate writing anything, including introductions to my anthologies. I'm not a critic, I'm barely a reviewer and yes, I realize that for most introductions I have little substantial to say. However, I personally dislike anthologies that do not have introductions. My publishers expect introductions. So I write them to the best of my ability.
I wasn't able to snail mail the contracts and Chabon printout to my editor because I had trouble photocopying the story from YBFH-the damned pages have so little top and bottom margin that invariably I wasted (and paid for) a lot of paper and then forgot the last 5 pages. So yesterday, I took the book in to Staples and they're doing those last pages. So that likely won't go out till Monday if I can get to the post office.

Also wanted to mention how admirable I found, a few days ago, that you posted "in the interest of fairness" a darker review for POE. That was very fair, and made interesting reading as well. Also made me curious about reading the POE anthology itself, just to see whether or not I'd agree.
Good luck writing! I like Lovecraft, 'cause he always uses cool words like "eldritch." Look forward to the anthology.

A review that bad can certainly spark interest in an anthology, particularly if it seems out of step with most of the other reviews. Curiosity is good!

He did indeed ask for it in pieces but I mean "unbound" in the other way: free!
