New Books by Caitlin R. Kiernan and Elizabeth Bear and David Marusek
We’ve just started accepting preorders on two new titles due out early next year:
Tales from the Woeful Platypus is Caitlin R. Kiernan’s followup to her all original erotica collection, Frog Toes and Tentacles, which was out of print almost immediately. Once again, Vince Locke is taking care of the illustrations, and once again we’ll warn you that the material contained therein is of an adult nature. Tales will be available as an unsigned hardcover ($20) and a signed limited hardcover ($45) that will not only contain an extra vignette, it’ll come with a cool exclusive chapbook, too.
New Amsterdam is hot new writer Elizabeth Bear’s Subterranean debut, a collection of short stories and novellas, that fit nicely together into an episodic novel. If the nineteenth century, dirigibles, magic, and vampires are your thing, you can’t go wrong. Like the Kiernan, there’s an unsigned hardcover ($25) and a signed limited edition ($40) that comes with an original short story chapbook available nowhere else.
David Marusek might be the hottest new sf writer around. His debut novel, Counting Heads, drew a NY Times rave. We’re sure similar praise is in line for his debut collection, Getting to Know You, which contains six stories — “building blocks” — toward Counting Heads. Once again, there’s a signed limited edition ($40) with bonus chapbook, and an unsigned trade hardcover ($25). Trust us, you can’t go wrong with either.
