New Reviews of Connie Willis and Elizabeth Bear Titles
Here’s a first look at J. K. Potter’s cover for our limited edition of Blackout by Connie Willis, which has just snagged another starred review, this time from Booklist: “On par with Doomsday Book (1992), Blackout depicts the times and the spirit of the British people remarkably vividly, and bits of comic relief leaven any somberness. Characterizations of the historians and the Brits they become close to are multifaceted and believable, and the ending leaves us keenly primed for the sequel, scheduled for November 2010 publication.”
Elizabeth Bear’s long fantasy novella, Bone and Jewel Creatures, also garnered favorable coverage, this time from Publishers Weekly: “Few family feuds feature gem-studded automatons facing off against zombies, but this quirky short fantasy by Hugo-winner Bear (By the Mountain Bound) is the exception.”
