SF Signal: Appoggiatura and Other Words You Never Heard Of

Appoggiatura and Other Words You Never Heard Of

You may have heard of Logorrhea, an anthology whose 21 stories are based on spelling bee words. Contributors include Tim Pratt, Daniel Abraham, Hal Duncan, Theodora Goss, Clare Dudman, Matthew Cheney, Jay Caselberg, Neil Williamson, Michael Moorcock, Michelle Richmond, Liz Williams, Paolo Bacigalupi, Anna Tambour, Leslie What, Alex Irvine, Marly Youmans, Alan DeNiro, Jay Lake, Elizabeth Hand, and David Prill and Jeff VanderMeer.

Jeff VanderMeer's contribution, the story "Appoggiatura", is special in that it also uses the other 20 words that for the basis of the other stories. Even better: "Appoggiatura" is now available as a serial podcast, with Jason Erik Lundberg reading each of the sub-entries. The book's editor, John Klima, has the handy index.
