Carniepunk anthology including Rachel Caine, Deliah s Dawson, Kelly Gay, Kevin Hearne, Seanan McGuire, Nicole D Peeler, Rod Thurman, Jay wells and more...
This is a genre defying original fiction collection including steampunk, urban fantasy, and survival horror to name a few. This is the kind of collection like last weeks that will open up your mind to writers and genres you might not have otherwise tried. The first story in the collection is a steampunk romance suspense tale by the awesome Deliah S Dawson riffing on Lydia the tattooed lady that will hook you into her storytelling if you have not tried it otherwise. The other tales are a mix of original tales and short fiction in estaleished settings and series. Kevin Hearne tells a tape for his Iron Druid setting that will likewise get you a feel for his stories and possibly hook you to getting his novels. I've read a few and thou there are one or two that did not do it for me I think overall this collection is a winner and may just open minds to genres you might never have tried otherwise.... Go to your local shop and order a copy if your up for Urban Fantasy, Steampunk or Weird Fiction.
With a five week month... There is ever a short week but this one is a winner... Jennifer Estep who is in this collection also has a novel up this week called Kiss of Venom from her Elemental Assassin series that is on my to read list but as I have yet to get to the short story I can't say if I would call it a Wanted or not yet....
There are some books comic up next week.... Till then check out the books up for the Hugo, particularly Throne of the Crescent Moon and 2312... And always check in on the electronic magazines Clarkesworld, Apex Magazine, Lightspeed and Nightmare Magazine......
