If that list of writers isn’t enough to convince you, or the expertise of co-editors Steele and Cowan, how about these two covers:
Trade Paperback art: Yves Tourigny
Deluxe Hardcover art: Marcela Bolívar
I will have this!
Me too! I’m really looking forward to reading it, aside from the fact that I have a story in it. Just curious, are you planning to get the hardcover or the paperback? I’m curious which format interests people more, since both are available at the same time.
Hi Michael. This anthology will live on my “holy shelf”—so hardcover it is.
Can this be ordered through Barnes & Noble?
Hi Kip – so far, it can only be ordered directly from Dim Shores. My understanding is that the paperback may soon be available from other online retailers, at least Amazon, and that it’s possible an e-book version may be available later. For now, though, Dim Shores is the only source.
