The Latest

Some news this delightful Monday (I'm trying to fool Monday into believing I like it)...

Jim McLeod interviewed me over at his Ginger Nuts of Horror Blog. The interview contains smelly socks, Lemony Snicket, chocolate and commas. You can read it here.

Last week, Gef Fox reviewed my forthcoming novella Theatre of Curious Acts. Here be a short excerpt: The first page of every Cate Gardner story is a rabbit hole, through which you find yourself falling into a wonderland of her design, and Theatre of Curious Acts offers a deeper plunge into the abyss of Cate's imagination than anything of hers I've read yet. And you can read the rest of the review here.

Go here, go there, it's like I'm trying to get rid of you.

Great stuff. I totally agree about Shearman - I fell in love with Hitler's Dog, for crying out loud. Recently read 'Alice Through the Plastic Sheet' too which was superb. But enough about him - your book could help save the world, huh? Brilliant bit of PR!! And I think my socks are safe...

Cate Gardner said...

I fell in love with Hitler's Dog too, Ray. I don't know how he does it. I haven't read Alice yet. If it's in his latest collection, I have that, and I also have an anthology with one of his stories in. My socks are safe too. :D

A deeper plunge into the abyss of your imagination? Oh fun!

Cate Gardner said...

I hope that is sarcasm, Polson :D

I read Alice in the Stephen Jones Book of Horrors, but it may well be in the collection too (and from what you've said about his collections, I really should get them, and the straining 'still to-read' shelf be damned).

Cate Gardner said...

Oh no, I don't have that anthology. Guess I have to add that one to my to buy list. Thanks, Ray. I mean really, thanks. :D

Regretfully, I have been away from most blogs as of late (stupid busy schedule). Seems you have been quite busy! Congrats on all the successes. Now excuse me while I go update my to-buy/read list with some of your new titles....

Some weeks it's so hard to keep up with all the blog posts, Barry. I love twitter - it helps me stay sorta in touch. :D

Love thsi quote from your interview:

I write what I want to write. Dumb or clever. You have to love what you're writing or the reader won't love it

Tyhitia Green said...

Congratulations, Cate. I'm going to read both interviews immediately. ;-)

Simon Kewin said...

I've been and come back! Wonderful interview. You should definitely put your head down and write some more ...

Cate Gardner said...

Thanks for reading the interview, guys :D
