I’ve been raving about Lou Anders<\/a> and Jonathan Strahan<\/a>‘s Swords & Dark Magic<\/strong> anthology for a while now, and I’m gonna continue to do so, I expect, until the book’s been recieved, read, reviewed and shelved. I mean, seriously, look at this Table of Contents<\/em>, just revealed by Anders<\/a> and Strahan<\/a>:<\/p>\n

While there\u2019s always someone else who could be in a book like this, we\u2019re delighted with the quality of the stories we received, grateful to the authors for being involved and to our publisher for supporting the book. It\u2019ll be out next July and is fabulous! Oh, and there\u2019ll be a limited edition done by Subterranean Press too, which should be awesome in its own right.<\/p<\/div>\n

Seriously, if you’ve ever been curious about the Sword and Sorcery<\/em> subgenre, this looks like the prefect place to dip your toe in. Oh yeah, and according to Ander’s (via Facebook), the tome clocks in at 155k words (which means ‘pretty bloody long’, for those of you who aren’t sure about word counts). So, June 22, 2010<\/strong>. Mark your calendars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
