Announcing New Collections by Jay Lake and Philip Jose Farmer
We have two new collections to announce by masters of the short story, one new and one classic.
Jay Lake’s new collection of short stories represents his favorites of his own work, both current and classic. With an emphasis on recent publications since his last collection in 2007, The Sky That Wraps showcases his reach in fantasy, science fiction, and the ambiguous territory in between. This volume includes two all-new stories, “Coming for Green” and “To Their Late Escape”, as well as previously uncollected fan favorites “The American Dead” and “The Sky That Wraps The World Round, Past the Blue and Into the Black.” Twenty other stories round out this wide-ranging survey of Lake’s work.
Philip Jose Farmer may no longer be with us, but we’re proud to continue our history of publishing his work. The latest, Up the Bright River, is a 120,000 word compendium of short stories that show off the many worlds Farmer created and worked in, including the first appearance of the last three Riverworld tales in a Farmer collection. Up the Bright River is very much a celebration of Phil’s wide ranging legacy, lovingly edited by Gary K. Wolfe.
Both titles are well underway, and slated for publication this fall.
