June 18, 2025 Story Hour: Gregory Norman Bossert and David Anaxagoras YouTube video by Story Hour

Here's the YouTube video of my reading yesterday on The Story Hour. I ended up reading "Lucinda and Frank Brewer at the East Pole" from the Harlan Ellison tribute anthology edited by Preston Grassman. And David Anaxagoras read three wonderful short pieces.

I'll be reading on Story Hour tonight! Wednesday June 18, 7pm PDT.

Black-and-white headshot of Gregory Norman Bossert, a white man with graying dark hair worn short and brushed straight up. He wears a crew-neck sweater over a lighter tee. He looks straight into the camera and smiles a close-lipped smile that gives him laugh lines.

Head-and-shoulders black-and-white of writer David Anaxagoras, a fair-skinned man with a short hair and a long beard. He wears a dark woven shirt and black-framed glasses. He sits in front of a bookcase and looks into the distance with a serious expression.

This week, the illustrious Gregory Norman Bossert returns to Story Hour—and Anaxagoras explains the cosmos! Oh, wait, this is *David* Anaxagoras. Well, who’s to say he won’t? Join us Wednesday at 7:00 PDT and find out! @gregbossert.bsky.social @davidanaxagoras.com #Booksky www.storyhour2020.com

Today's "Intergalactic Rejects" author spotlight is Greg Bossert! Greg's story "Forget-me-not" has been rejected dozens of times simply because it's very strange and delightfully weird, so we're ecstatic to be able to rescue it and bring it to you all! Bio and KSer link in comments.

Hello, Martin!!!

yup

And yes, thank goodness for Ellen's Year's Best, and before that the 25+ years of Year's Best Fantasy & Horror, through which I found so many of my favorite authors!

Many thanks, Steve. High praise, coming from you!! That's one of those stories that came to me out of nowhere, start-to-finish, in the middle of the night.

This week's Story Hour was spooky and weird and cool! Somehow @mothman13.bsky.social and @gregbossert.bsky.social both read creepy seasonal stories about human connection and the power of nature. You can still watch! www.facebook.com/watch/live/?...

Tonight, at 7pm PST - I'll be reading online with James Chambers and hosts Daniel Marcus & Laura Blackwell for Story Hour!
My story will be....weird.

Color headshot of Gregory Norman Bossert, a white man with graying dark hair worn short and brushed straight up. He wears a gray crew-neck sweater over a lighter gray tee. He looks straight into the camera with blue-gray eyes and smiles a close-lipped smile that gives him laugh lines.

Color headshot of James Chambers, a white man with graying dark hair worn short and parted on the side. His graying beard is short and neatly trimmed. He wears a blue checked blazer over a gray tee. He smiles slightly as he looks downward with light brown eyes. What does he see there? What does he see?

Adam! Hello!

The artwork on my banner is by the amazing Dermot Power, one of the great film concept designers. This one is based on a screenplay I wrote some while back.

Whew, sounds good. I've got enough fraught to last for years. Four of them, to be precise. I'm already seeing a few posts about books. I like these posts.

Hello.
