JCO: New JCO story in anthology

Hello everyone.

I thought I'd let you know about a new JCO story which appears in an
anthology published by McSweeney's. It's called "McSweeney's Enchanted
Chamber of Astonishing Stories," edited by Michael Chabon. According to the
back cover, it's a "brand-new collection that reinvigorates the
stay-up-all-night, fingernail-biting, page-turning tradition of literary
short stories."

JCO's story is titled "The Fabled Light-House at Vina Del Mar," and
according to an author's note, it was suggested by a one-page sketch found
in Edgar Allen Poe's papers. The story definitely showcases JCO's
intelligence and her gothic sensibility.

There are other authors in the collection you might find interesting:
Margaret Atwood, Jonathan Lethem, David Mitchell, Daniel Handler, Stephen
King... I'll paste the amazon.com link below:

-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-2782233-9806229?v=glance&s=books

Anyway, I enjoyed it and thought some of you might too.

Ryan.
