I never got around to picking up Muddy Forks because it
didn't have that much I didn't already have in Whores. And I
think, but am not entirely sure, that it was rounded out with
non-fiction magazine pieces.
Penzler may also be getting around the "new short story"
technicality by exempting excerpts from works in progress. As
I recall (it's buried in a box I can't get to at the moment),
much if not all of the new fiction in Whores was chapters of
what woud become Mexican Tree Duck (the jukebox on the
traintracks chapter) and his long-awaited Texas novel. As I
noted though, this is from memory when I read it when it
first came out, so I may not be entirely accurate.
