Announcing New Brian Lumley, Bruce Sterling, and Stephen Gallagher
We’ve just posted the details for three brand new titles to the SubPress online store, each of them deep into design/production.
Ascendancies: The Best of Bruce Sterling is a gathering of 200k words by one of the finest writers of science fiction working today…and yesterday. Included are such early gems as the Shaper/Mechanist stories, “Green Days in Brunei” and “Flowers of Edo.” From there Bruce goes on to his “Leggy Starlitz” and “Chattanooga” series of tales, to one of his most recent, “The Blemmye’s Stratagem.”
Plots and Misadventures is Stephen Gallagher’s second short story collection, containing, as the author writes, “eleven flights of fancy and one true story…but it can be hard to say where fancy ends and the truth begins.” Along the way, you’ll encounter grisly goings-on in a tattoo parlour… a bereaved girl’s poetic revenge… hunting fairies with pickup truck and cattle prod… and one novella written especially for this volume. Both of our previous Gallagher books (The Painted Bride and The Spirit Box) have sold very well, so you might want to get your order in early for this Halloween release.
Also due this Halloween is the first of two volumes set to collect the best of Brian Lumley’s Mythos tales. The Taint and Other Novellas collects his lengthy Lovecraftian tales, including such gems as the recent title story, and harder to find tales such as “The House of the Temple.” Look for The Taint to weigh in around 400 pages, with a full color dust jacket and copious black and white illustrations by Bob Eggleton.
