Low Stock Update — Scott Lynch and Elizabeth Bear
Since its publication less than a week ago, we’ve seen stock on Scott Lynch’s The Lies of Locke Lamora go from 150 copies left to fewer than 60. (Important Update: Another 40 copies sold today, so we’re down to 20.) At this rate, we expect it to sell out in the next couple of weeks, so if you want to get in on the ground floor of one of the best fantasy series currenty running — and we’ve already secured rights to the sequel, Red Seas Under Red Skies — get your order in now.
Also selling very well are both the limited and trade editions of Elizabeth Bear’s New Amsterdam. We don’t expect to have copies of the limited for more than another day or so, with the trade edition unlikely to be in print for more than another 3-4 weeks. As Charles Stross says: “In the tradition of Randal Garrett’s Lord Darcy stories, Elizabeth Bear has carved out a disturbingly dark alternative past, where the gaslit neuroses of Victorian colonialism rub shoulders with the nightmares of an older, grimmer age. Watch out for this fantasy — it’s got fangs.”
Just posted to Subterranean Online: An audio of the standalone second chapter of New Amsterdam. “Wax” is the first tale to feature Deputy Crown Inspector Abigail Irene Garrett, read by the incomparable Mary Robinette Kowal. Head over and give it a listen.
