Announcing A IS FOR ALIEN by Caitlin R. Kiernan
Caitlín R. Kiernan has turned in her next project for us, A is for Alien, a gathering of her science fiction stories, including the novellas “Bradbury Weather” and “Zero Summer.” Here, we’ll let the flap copy tell you a bit more about the collection: “A is for Alien is award-winning author Caitlín R. Kiernan’s first collection devoted entirely to her science-fiction work. It includes the critically acclaimed novelette “Riding the White Bull” (chosen for The Year’s Best Science Fiction, 22nd Annual Collection), along with seven other tales of a less-than-utopian future. Ranging from the wastelands and mountains of Mars to the streets of a late 21st-Century Manhattan, from the moons of Europa and Saturn to an iceless Antarctica, these tales bring Kiernan’s trademark brand of the eco-gothic to bear on what it means to be human and the paths and decisions that may face mankind only a little farther along.”
A is for Alien will be published in early 2009 in two unique editions, a cloth bound trade hardcover ($25), and a signed limited edition of 250 copies, with a chapbook of additional fiction ($45). The limited editions of our other Kiernan projects have all sold out prepublication, so please order early if that’s the edition that interests you.
