Welcome Dagan Books + Gift Certificates!
Tags: Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Dagan Books, Less Than Three, PM PressWe welcome a new publisher this week, Dagan Books, with two awesome titles: Cthulhurotica (“A new anthology of erotic horror, inspired by the writing of H. P. Lovecraft”) and IN SITU (“a new anthology of science fiction stories featuring alien archeology, hidden mysteries, and things that are better off left buried”) both edited by Carrie Cuinn.
We also have a nice balance of erotica and politics this week: a dozen new books from Less Than Three Press (Finding the Wolf) and almost as many from PM Press (The Laughter of Carthage: The Second Volume of the Colonel Pyat Quartet by Michael Moorcock).
Somewhere in there we keep adding more and more Wildside Books.
And, wait, what was that Gift Certificates?
We now have them! I find this a bit more awesome and exciting that I probably should. Thanks go to Jeff VanderMeer for the nudge and Michael for making it happen. You can now send friends, family, enemies and frenemies a Weightless Gift Certificate.
Speaking of Jeff, we’ll be adding a new title from Cheeky Frawg next week: Jagannath by Karin Tidbeck (“A vital voice.” – China Miéville)

Welcome: Tachyon Publications!
Tags: Less Than Three, Lethe Press, Marshall Moore, TachyonWe’re very happy to announce that we’ve added another great publisher: Tachyon Publications! Tachyon are based in San Francisco and are responsible for all those great anthologies you’ve seen in recent years: Rewired, Steampunk II, that kind of thing, as well as tons of other great books. Most of their ebooks come in epub, mobi, and pdf flavors. So yay, yay, and yay!
We also added a dozen or so new titles from Less Than Three Press—we now have 60+ of their books! Dance in the Dark is the most popular so far.
Two Marshall Moore titles, The Concrete Sky and Black Shapes in a Darkened Room are on sale at 99 cents each as a promotion until his new book, The Infernal Republic, releases in February.
Next week we have sale coming on all Steve Berman’s books and then it will be time for the February magazines to begin dropping—always the busiest time of the month around here.
I am heading (with Kelly) for Australia and New Zealand next month—can’t wait to say hello to Brisbane, Adelaide, Wellington!—which will mean Michael will be holding up 100% of the sky. He’s done it before and will do it again, at least until the end of the world later this year.
Over in Small Beer land, we have a new email newsletter (shiny, tidy!) which will sometimes feature Weightless stuff and the second paper printing of Maureen McHugh’s Philip K. Dick Award finalist After the Apocalypse is now in stock. Fortunately it was never out of stock here. Ha.
Ebooks are apparently going to make up 214% of all book sales by this time next month.* As long as people are reading and people running interesting indie presses, we’re happy.
Ciao!

Welcome: Less Than Three
Tags: Less Than ThreeThis week we’re happy to welcome Less Than Three Press whose titles include a few of books that fans of Blind Eye Books might take a look at. In coming weeks we’re expecting to add the following publishers: Circlet Press, Aqueduct Press, Something Wicked SF & Horror Magazine, Electric Velocipede, and another lovely magazine that I hope will prove very popular.
And, next month—once we have the details worked out—we’re going to launch a subscription drive for Lightspeed and Fantasy magazines which will involve priiiiiizes. Are ebook readers (you) interested in new ebook readers (machines) as prizes? Do tell so that we know what to stock up on. So come back later this week and we should have that going.
Cheers!
