And speaking of fabulous Australians, as we just were, here is something else to be thankful for today. I have not one, not two, but three new books for you from Twelfth Planet Press. Worth a squee? Just wait until you see who the authors are.

Well actually you may not have heard of Jason Nahrung, but he is the spousal unit of the very wonderful Kirstyn McDermott, she of The Writer and The Critic fame. Like Kirstyn, he writes horror, and our first TPP book is his novella, Salvage. “Isolated beach house on a remote Queensland island”? Oh dear…

Horror is going to be something of a constant theme here, because next up we have the very wonderful Kaaron Warren, who has a book in the Twelve Planets series of short collections. The blurb for Through Splintered Walls says, “These are stories inspired by the beauty, the danger, the cruelty, emptiness, loneliness and perfection of the Australian landscape.” Yeah, that’s Australia alright.

And finally, as if that wasn’t enough to creep you out, we have Cracklescape by the very wonderful Margo Lanagan. This is another Twelve Planets book, and also full of very Australian stories. Margo is a four-time World Fantasy Award winner. I am so happy to have a book of hers in the store.

I’m also delighted to continue to be able to bring you ebook editions of these books, because it costs an arm and a leg to mail them from Australia. In US terms they are about $6 for the ebooks, and over $18 for paper.
