This week we added three new books from Prime Books new imprint Masque Books which will be publishing three sf/fantasy and/or sf/f romance per month. The launch titles include two names that might be familiar to Weightless readers: Erzebet YellowBoy (Land of Dreams) and E. Catherine Tobler (Rings of Anubis: Gold and Glass) as well as newcomer Sally McBride (Water, Circle, and Moon). Serial fiction fans, keep an eye on the middle title . . .
Also new this week, three big anthologies from Prime. I expect After the End: Recent Apocalypses to fly out of here. Yes, it’s a book of apocalypse stories, but Paula Guran had the great idea of only collecting stories from the last five years and she has put together a very well received book. The other two books are Superheroes edited by Rich Horton and Weird Detectives: Recent Investigations, which, like After the End, was edited by Paula Guran.
Best news for readers of international fiction: we’ve just added three new Flipside titles! The first is A Bottle of Stormclouds by Eliza Victoria, a refreshingly contemporary take on weird happenings and everyday life. Also added: the latest in the Philippine Speculative Fiction series, Philippine Speculative Fiction Volume 8, as well as a great way to catch up on thirty stories that have been selected for previous volumes: The Best of Philippine Speculative Fiction 2005-2010.
And I should not let another week go by without noting for fans of Tansy Rayner Roberts’s Splashdance Silver that we recently added the followup: Liquid Gold (“Liquid Gold – the most seductively dangerous substance in the history of the cosmos – has just been discovered in the Mocklore Empire . . .”).
