For her sixth and latest collection of short stories, A Place Between Waking And Forgetting (paperback), author Eugen Bacon has assembled a collection that — as she explains in the following email interview — “largely comprises black people stories exploring affection, dread, anguish, or hope.”
In many time travel stories, people usually just go in one direction or the other. But in Secondhand Daylight (paperback, Kindle) by Eugen Bacon and Andrew Hook, one character can only move forward through time, while another is going back to find him. In the following email interview, Eugen and Andrew discuss what inspired this novel, and their decision to write it together.
Ever since I read Kurt Vonnegut’s Bagombo Snuff Box: Uncollected Short Fiction in 1999, I’ve believed that reading an author’s short stories is a great way to get to know their writing.
Which is why I’m excited to read Eugen Bacon’s The Road To Woop Woop And Other Stories (paperback, Kindle). Doubly so after doing the following email interview, in which she discusses how this collection came together, what inspired and influenced these stories, and which of her other books I, uh, I mean you should read after you finish reading Woop Woop.
