About time for another new collection?

Hi,

There must be about enough material for one by now IMO.

Seems like it might be getting closer to another short story collection. Maybe sometime in 2012 if we are lucky. I really hope he includes The Crate even though it is older. I've updated your list to include his 2011 output.

Short stories:

The Crate (from 1982, but collected last year as part of an anthology)
Ur
Throttle
Premium Harmony
Herman Wouk is Still Alive
Under the Weather
Blockade Billy
Morality
Mile 81
Dune

You forgot "The Little Green God of Agony" and "Weeds"

Stephen said he wasn't comfortable of publishing his old uncollected stories, but I hope one or two old ones between 15 new ones in a collection is a fair deal, especially because a lot of us CRs haven't had the opportunity to read those old stories which were published in some obscure magazines decades ago.
In "Just After Sunset" this worked very well with "The Cat from Hell" if you ask me.

But 2012 is too early. Until now a new short stories collection was out every seven or so years, so I think we will have to wait a little bit more. I think so, but I hope not.

I don't think "Blockade Billy" would make it to the collection, though, since it got its own book.
