No idea if this will help, but I thought you might like to know that "Pen Umbra" (Thrillers 2), "Villa Locusta" (The Harrow 10.1), and Words Written Backwards all received honorable mentions in the latest Year's Best Fantasy and Horror. I have not yet seen a physical copy for myself (although lesser_celery has), but the anthology's contents are searchable online at Amazon.com.
