12/14/10 My story "Blood in the River," within the Dead Bait anthology, got a good review on Amazon. Asmodeus was reviewing the book, and favorably mentioned my tale: "...Moving on, "Blood in the River" by Steven R. Southard features one of my favorite species in the entire animal kingdom, the candiru. If you're not familiar with candirus, they're pencil-thin catfish indigenous to the Amazon river that are famous for lodging themselves in human urethras. That's worth the price of admission by itself. And Southard combines one with a shape-shifting, human vampire. That's just wrong (but it feels so right)..." Thank you very much, Asmodeus!
