It’s the end of the line: after ten years and as many volumes, Nemonymous has come to an end. For those unfamiliar with the concept, the stories in each volume were published without bylines, with the authors’ names being revealed at a later date. Null Immortalis is a little different: as it’s the final Nemonymous anthology, bylines are already assigned to the stories — which gives us the following contents list:
Daniel Pearlman, ‘A Giant in the House’
David M. Fitzpatrick, ‘Lucien’s Menagerie’
David V. Griffin , ‘Violette Doranges’
Ursula Pflug, ‘Even the Mirror’
Andrew Hook, ‘Love Is the Drug’
Joel Lane, ‘The Drowned Market’
Mike Chinn, ‘A Matter of Degree’
Richard Gavin, ‘Only Enuma Elish’
Joseph S. Pulver, Sr., ‘Icarus Above…’
Reggie Oliver, ‘You Have Nothing To Fear’
Cameron Pierce, ‘Broom People’
Stephen Bacon, ‘The Toymaker of Bremen’
Mark Valentine, ‘The Man Who Made the Yellow God’
Steve Rasnic Tem, ‘The Green Dog’
Bob Lock, ‘Haven’t You Ever Wondered?’
I’ll be blogging these stories one at a time, with links appearing in the list above as I go.
(One last note before we start: last year, Nemonymous editor/publisher D.F. Lewis ran a competition to see who could match the greatest number of authors to their stories in the previous anthology, with the prize being the chance to appear as a character in every story in Null Immortalis. The winner was Scott Tullis, who is also a contributor to the book; I’m particularly intrigued to see what he’s written…)

Thanks, David, for the time and trouble you’ve taken in real-time reviewing NULL IMMORTALIS, from 16 August to 14 December. An amazing experience for me and, I hope, for the writers themselves. Yes, the final Nemonymous, and I’m proud of it.
Regarding Null Immortalis, I did my own on-line ‘Editor’s Commentary’ of the book in real time which you and others may now be interested in reading. But I’ll leave that to be googled. I never made things easy… 🙂
