BOOK RIOT lists THE WILDS in “I Got Your Weird Right Here”

I’ve been called weird ever since I was born two-weeks overdue–my skin beef-red, my nails long, my face scratched to hell from the beastly claws–but I didn’t learn to embrace it until late high school. I’m happy that The Wilds showed up on this Book Riot list of “strange and unusual” fiction with some lovely weirdos, including Scott Hawkins, fellow freaky fabulist and South Aiken High School Alumnus. Now we’re wondering if (1) the nuclear reactor near our home town had anything to do with our current literary weirdness and (2) if a weird-writers-who-grew-up-near-nuclear-plants anthology might be cool. Potential title: “Nuclear Reactions: Radiant Fabulists with Absorb Doses Higher than 20 Rad.”
