(urth) Wolfe-inspired short story collection

Some old posters were published authors, but haven't seen them in a while.  Michael andre-Driussi, yves meynard, patrick o leary, Borski- (some of his criticism might be wild enough to classify, too; though I admire a few of his more sound textual observations).  Trying to think of more, sure I am missing some. Not sure if Alice Turner wrote fiction or was solely an influential editor...

Yes, I am lucky.  Alas, the vast majority of my writing is sealed in a desk where it will probably remain forever. 

Lots of Notre Dame posters - Craig as well.  Do you know professor Buttigieg there, Steve?  My favorite professor, though I was a biochem major back then and I haven't seen him since like 1999. 

In any case I will check out the collection.

This collection includes ten previously-published works (first appearing in a number of pro and semi-pro zines) as well as two appearing here for the first time. I'm certainly very far from being anywhere near Gene's league, but I hope that fans of Wolfe might find glimmers of that sense of wonder he does so well in my own work.
