Interview on Little Red Reviewer

One of the best reviews I got for She Nailed a Stake Through His Head was with Little Red Reviewer. It was my favorite because I had actually been reading the review site because I was just getting into scott_lynch's Locke Lamora series (or finally getting around to reading an LJ friend's books) and her reviews were some of the most insightful. Also, it just came out of the blue. She found my book at the library and had to review it.

So of course I sent her the follow-up book. Wish that I hadn't taken four years to get it finished, but she loved it.

And she interviewed me - http://littleredreviewer.wordpress.com/2014/03/07/interview-with-tim-lieder-editor-of-king-david-and-the-spiders-from-mars/

So go read it. I sound cool. Mostly.

Although

There weren’t that many egregiously awful stories, but many of the stories reminded me of adult dating – particularly that feeling where you want to like the person sitting across from you at the restaurant more than you do – in that many of the stories were likeable stories but they didn’t make me feel like I needed to buy them.

probably could have been said better. I think I already used the phrase "fall in love" with the stories. But still, sometimes you go out with someone and you like them, but you just don't want to buy them.

I probably could have said that better. But then I start talking about how it is ridiculously easy to put together a horror anthology with mostly women writers. It probably shouldn't be though.
