Swan River Press has just launched a major three-volume collected works of Fitz-James O’Brien. It’s the most complete presentation of O’Brien’s fantastic literature to date, and includes a large array of short stories, poems and one play, along with excellent introductions by John P. Irish that investigate the life and work of the man some scholars regard as the Irish Poe. I interviewed Irish about the process of assembling O’Brien’s work and about what attracted him to his work in the first place. You can check it out here.
About John Kenny
I have had fiction published in Fear the Reaper, Emerald Eye: The Best of Irish Imaginative Fiction, Transtories, The World SF Blog, Revival Literary Journal, First Contact, FTL, Woman’s Way, Jupiter Magazine and several other venues. Currently looking for a publisher for my novel Down and Out.
I was co-editor of Albedo One from 1993 to 2013 and co-administrator of its International Aeon Award for Short Fiction from 2005 to 2013. Previous to that I edited several issues of FTL (1990 – 1992). I’ve also edited Writing4all: The Best of 2009 and Box of Delights, an original horror anthology from Aeon Press Books.
