Living in the same Pennsylvania town has afforded the close friends, Daryl Gregory and James Morrow, the opportunity to jointly promote their new Tachyon titles:  We Are All Completely Fine and The Madonna and the Starship. One such event was recently captured by Michael Swanwick on his Flogging Babel blog.

Saturday, I went to Big Blue Marble in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, to hear James Morrow and Daryl Gregory read.  It was a hoot.

Jim read from his latest book, The Madonna and the Starship, a novella in which a writer of pulp television has to face down diabolical space lobsters.  Daryl read from We Are All Completely Fine, in which survivors of various horror-movie scenarios undergo group therapy.

In the audience were many writers including Fran Wilde, Eugene Myers, and Darrell Schweitzer.

Also, for some reason, a lot of psychiatrists.

Read the rest of Swanwick’s thoughts on the event at the Flogging Babel.
