Read This Now - John Langan's "Technicolor"  
You'll have to buy the Ellen Datlow edited anthology Poe  for it, but "Technicolor" is my favorite story of the last couple years.  Langan's brilliantly conceived fictional lecture on the explanation of color symbolism in Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" is everything a story should be - intelligent, genre-expanding, and entertaining.

Yeah, it's exceptional. He has other stories coming up in the next year or so that are on par, or better than Technicolor.

And of course, your "Strappado" in the same anthology ain't nothing to sneeze at either. ;)

Am really looking forward to seeing what Langan does with House of Windows, too.
