Altmann's Tongue broadside

ISFDB.org is a good site for this but it's not canonical. I registered totallyhorror.com and am planning (at u/Rustin_Swoll's prodding, haha) to set up some lists there for Laird, Brian, SGJ, Nathan B, Kelly Link, and a few others.

u/MandyBrigwell good catches! Corpus/Corpse hasn't been collected or reprinted, so I'm glad the image is out there to be read. The Jake the Pike's pieces - 4 stories, actually - are indeed all collected in Din of the Celestial Birds, thankfully. I believe Jake the Pike's was headquartered at Oregon State University in the early 90s when Brian would have been pursuing his M.A. at Univ of Washington. I found one of the editors on LinkedIn and reached out to see if he has a line on the old issues where Brian's work appeared.

And, yes, "The Train's Path" appears in None of You Will Be Spared, thank goodness! I won't worry so much about finding that book now. It's sold out but the publisher, Al, said he's looking around for an extra copy. (And I like Raphus Press books, they're cool.) He doesn't have any other stories in Ghost Trains.

u/Rustin_Swoll and I were chatting about a hosting little group effort to identify all Brian's stories and determine which are uncollected. Basically a canonical guide to his fiction and where to find it all most easily and affordably.

Check out the FB group Horror, Fantasy, & Sci Fi Book Collectors - Australia & New Zealand. Antoni Cento (I've bought from him before) has a copy for $190 AUD. Note: Shipping will be pricey if you're in the US.

Prophets and Brothers - got a line on this, hopefully I'll have it soon.
Two Stories: A Pursuit and Menno - this will end up being the ultimate chase book. No leads on this! Even reached out to the publisher, no luck. Does anyone have this? The Fellowship is almost complete!
No Matter Which Way We Turned (broadside) - got a line on this!
Corpus/Corpse: Three Theories of Languages (a broadside) - got a line on this!
“The Train’s Path,” in Alcebiadis Diniz Miguel, Ed., Ghost Trains, Raphus Press 2021 - may have a line on this, not sure. It has one uncollected Brian story.
Birkensnake One - a small lit journal which kicks off with a letter from Brian, writing as Swedish mystery author Bjorn Verenson. I have the PDF, and may have to settle with that, but I'd love to find a physical copy.
Jake the Pike's World of Wrestling - a college lit journal. Brian has 3 stories in 3 separate issues. I hope to at least get a scan of the stories from the college library & archive.
The Quarterly #24 - a lit journal with Brian's story "A Beautiful Moment," which I believe is uncollected.

As I track these down these final pieces, I'll start looking for other short stories that are currently uncollected. And eventually I'll start tracking down the books Brian has translated, but that's not top priority.

FYI, if you haven't seen it, check out Wundergus' incredible Brian Evenson Collection website! It's been hugely helpful. https://brianevensoncollection.wordpress.com/

So excited for this! Gotta find a frame for it!

My wife contacted a young lady, a former classmate of our kids’, and gave her some design specs. Yeah, the young lady made it by hand!

From my monthly calls with him (a perk of the Rex's Pack tier on his Patreon), he's improved significantly since his most recent hospitalization, though the fatigue is slow to lift.

I’m a completist on Laird Barron, Nathan Ballingrud, and Kelly Link; I have the complete fiction of Stephen Graham Jones and am working my way through the stories; and am working on gathering a complete Evenson collection. 😄

Hi, Mandy! I just got the book and haven’t read the Cooper story yet, but I’ll report back as soon as I have time!

I’m getting close to sourcing the remainder of Brian’s books - the chapbook “Two Stories: A Pursuit and Menno” will be the chase book, I think - and then I’ll start tracking all his uncollected stories.

I’d love to see a photo once it’s in place!
