Someone asked when I posted the cover for this upcoming collection as to what the toc was. Here you go. There are two brand new stories and one that appeared in an art book I don't think a lot of people saw. The book, Big Dark Hole, will be out in March 2021 from Small Beer. Early ordering online is available at a number of online sellers.

My short story, "The Weight of Words," appears in this fabulous anthology, The Big Book of Modern Fantasy, edited by Ann and Jeff VanderMeer for Random House.
Last Summer, when I was in New York, I did an interview and reading on the Night Time Logic show, hosted by Dan Braum. You can hear it here thanks to INKHEIST.com. It starts with interview, then there's a reading of the story, "The Jeweled Wren" from Ellen Datlow's anthology, ECHOES, and then there's more interview. Check it out if you get a chance.

“The Best of Jeffrey Ford came out recently, the definitive collection by this modern master of the fantastical short story. It’s worth it for “'Daltharee'” alone, a story I adore, about a strange city in a bottle" -- Lavie Tidhar, The Washington Post.

Comics artist, writer, illustrator and painter, Andrew Drilon, was inspired to do this drawing after having read my recent novella, Out of body. A great thanks to Andrew.
