May, 2025: Nathan Ashman's excellent book on Jim's writing, James Sallis: A Companion to the Mystery Fiction, from McFarland, just won Ashman an Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America. Soho Press in the States, publishers of Sarah Jane, the six volumes of the Lew Griffin cycle, and Bright Segments: The Complete Short Fiction, will bring out Jim's latest, World's Edge, in spring 2026:
In a not-so-distant future the United States has fragmented, balkanizing
into unstable provinces often at war with one another, and Americans,
their great promise not so much lost as forfeited, are encountering
the terrors and devastation so much of the world daily lives with.
Throughout a land littered with refugees, ruins, orphaned children,
soldiers, militia, and fugitives, people go on about their daily lives
as best they can.
The five linked stories of World's Edge track the false starts and stall-outs of a nation and civilization trying to rise again, to rebuild, and of individuals caught up in that birthing. As ever, the only true history lies in the story of individual lives, in the old rag and bone shop of our hearts. World's Edge will appear in the UK from Bedford Square, who last year published the collection What You Were Fighting For. Meanwhile, Jim's Difficult Lives/Hitching Rides remains available from Syndicate Books, distributed by Soho. Jim's also written a few new stories, one of which, "And We Shall Find Rest," is set for Asimov's late this year. March, 2025: Catching up a bit: New reviews for Bright Segments and What You Were Fighting For have been posted, and an interview with Jim appears in CrimeReads.
