Thursday, March 1st, 2007

Today we’ve posted another two chapters to Lucius Shepard’s mesmeriszing novella, Vacancy as well as a couple of features — the first column, “Dear Patriarchy” by hot new writer Elizabeth Bear, and a short story (”Surveillance”) by SubPress favorite Joe R. Lansdale. Head over to Subterranean Online and start checking the Winter Issue out.


DREADFUL SKIN by Cherie Priest

Thursday, March 1st, 2007

Dreadful SkinAlso just arrived in our office is Dreadful Skin, Cherie Priest’s gun-with-a-nun novel. We think Bookslut summed it up pretty well: “I was fairly dazzled by Dreadful Skin, by the innovative way that Priest has found to tell an age old story and by the richly chosen words she has used to embrace it. This one crosses all the genre lines and soundly delivers on the promise of good storytelling. A reader could not ask for anything more from a fiction writer, and Cherie Priest, thankfully, has given us her best.”

The first long section of the novel, a standalone novella called The Wreck of the Mary Byrd, is available online so you may sample the novel’s pleasures.

LOST ECHOES by Joe R. Lansdale

Thursday, March 1st, 2007

Lost EchoesWe’ve just received copies of Lost Echoes, Joe R. Lansdale’s latest, a supernatural thriller with definite touches of noir. Don’t take our word for how good it is. Instead listen to Publishers Weekly, who said in their starred review that “Lansdale’s down-home prose erupts with explosive twists and razor sharp insights into how ‘echoes from the original sounds’ can never be silenced until action is taken to defeat the fear that created them.”

Ours is the only hardcover edition of this wonderful novel, limited to just 400 signed numbered copies.
