I’ve been neglecting Wizard’s Tower a bit over the past couple of weeks because of the high pressure day job stuff, but I’m pleased to say that I’ve found time to add some new titles to the bookstore. These are all new releases from Prime Books.
First up is a anthology that is presumably cashing in on the current fashion for circus stories. It is a reprint anthology, but that means you get some great material. The finest circus stories around, from people like Peter Straub, Amanda Downum, Jeff VanderMeer, Genevieve Valentine, Kij Johnson, Chris Barzak, Holly Black and Howard Waldrop. Circus: Fantasy Under the Big Top – go for it!
Next we have a new collection from a very fine and under-appreciated author, Holly Phillips. I loved her first collection, In the Palace of Repose, and I’m sure that At the Edge of Waking will be just as good.
And finally, for those of you who can’t get enough gore, Paula Guran has put together an anthology of the most repulsive and disgusting tales of the zombie apocalypse that she can find. If your brains have not yet been eaten enough, you need Extreme Zombies.
Eew, guess which one I won’t be reading. Still, it takes all sorts. If brain eating is your thing, I’m happy to help, so to speak.
