UPDATE:
So I slept with the anthology last night. At first I was just gonna stick it under my pillow and let its brilliance soak into my brain, and I did, for awhile. But then I grabbed it and tucked it in beside me and gave it it's own place on the pillow. It wouldn't lay still. We sat up and watched reruns of Scrubs and drank 40's of St. Ides all night and passed out on the floor. Ahhhh good times. I woke up before the anthology did and reflected on the night we spent together. It was still erratic, beautiful, ugly, imperfect, I loved it all over again. You will too.

That's right. I picked the DOGZPLOT FLASH FICTION 2008 anthologies up from the printers today and they kicked my ass the whole way home. A few of them jumped out of the box and beat the shit out of me with my four way crow bar, others where giving me a hand job. They're out of control. The anthology features work from:
Chad Simpson
Kim Chinquee
Claudia Smith
Elizabeth Ellen
Beth Thomas
Matt Bell
CL Bledsoe
Scott Garson
Aaron Burch
Dawn Corrigan
Stefan Kiesbye
...and so many other rock stars that its ridiculous, nuts, I'm telling you. Order it now. Paypal link is to the right. And if you are a contributor. I'm heading to the post office tomorrow. If you live by me. I'm saving the postage so I'll come see you over the weekend.
I just licked one of the pages. Imagine those magic candy balls in Willy Wonka.
