seriously dismayed

So Interzone #215 is now out, and sure enough my story "Concession Girl" is listed on the contents on the full cover image they've uploaded as part of the announcement. Yay! Since the moment I spotted their cover preview I've been totally excited waiting for the issue to come out. It's been a downright rotten couple of months and this was one of the few things I've really been looking forward to. More than I can tell you, to be honest -- I don't know that I've ever been closer to throwing in the towel on writing as I've been lately.

But wait, is my excitement a little premature?

The fuller announcement on the TTA Press website lists all the stories w/ snippets of their interior art and mine is conspicuously not among them. A check of the forum thread for the new issue has a comment from the editor to the effect that the "wrong cover" image had somehow been uploaded. So have I been bumped? It's not clear.

I love Interzone but I wish they were a bit more communicative. )-:
