Dear Friends,
It's October! Hurrah! I am hopeful the turning of the season will bring us all some peace.
For October I've specially curated 5 of our spookier titles, and discounted the eBooks to just $2. Grab a couple, or all 5 for $10. It's your choice.
Shadows & Tall Trees, Vol. 8 (Michael Kelly, ed.) - Finalist for the World Fantasy; Shirley Jackson; and British Fantasy Awards. Reprints in 2 'Best Ofs'. Featuring Kay Chronister, Krisit DeMeester; Brian Evenson, M. Rickert, and more.
Aickman's Heirs (Simon Strantzas, ed.) - Winner of the Shirley Jackson Award. Finalist for the World Fantasy, and British Fantasy Awards. Reprints in 5 'Best Ofs'. Featuring Nadia Bulkin, Brian Evenson, John Langan, Lynda E. Rucker, and more.
The Ghost Sequences, by A.C. Wise - Finalist for the World Fantasy; Locus; Bram Stoker; and British Fantasy Awards.
To Drown in Dark Water, by Steve Toase - Reprints in 2 'Best Ofs'. Praise from Booklist, and Rue Morgue.
I Would Haunt You if I Could, by Seán Padraic Birnie - Reprints in 2 'Best Ofs'. Praise from The Toronto Star, and Library Journal.
The inaugural volume of The Best Weird Fiction of the Year is almost here! Publication date is Nov. 4. If you pre-ordered our paperback/eBook bundle you'll be receiving the eBook in the next few days. Keep an eye on your inbox. And your paperback should be with you some time this month. I'm extremely happy with the breadth and diversity of the stories in the anthology. You can still pre-order the book.
This weekend, Oct. 4 & 5, we'll be tabling at the inaugural Little Ghosts Festival in Toronto. Vendors, readings, panels, films. This promises to be a great time, and we hope to see you there.
Warm Wishes,
Michael (and the Undertow team)
