I wanted to drop a little post here as I knew a few of you guys might be interested.

We're publishing a new anthology that features brand new/previously unpublished fiction from Bradbury, Matheson, Nolan, Johnson and many others. We're getting ready to go to the printer's very soon and starting to take preorders for just the Deluxe Signed Edition. There will be only 75 copies of this up for sale and we anticipate it will go quickly.

Here's the lineup:

This looks great, but the price is a bit steep for those of us impacted by the recession. Also, though I've had good luck with pre-orders on expensive books from small presses, others on these boards have been burned in the past. But, please, keep us posted.

Hi James, I was wondering if the Deluxe Edition is signed by all of the authors (Bradbury and Matheson are the ones I'm concerned about)?

Thanks,

Geoff

btw, I have a subscription with Dark Discoveries magazine, and they have done a great job so far. But this is their first book, so I can't comment on quality, but I wouldn't be worried about this one not getting published as it's their first book.

I just thought I would mention that in case if anyone is interested on what and who Dark Discoveries is...

I stick a video clip in whenever I find the opportunity. Since Bill Nolan is listed along with Bradbury, here's a video clip where Nolan and Bradbury talk about meeting each other for the first time.

nice collection. was "Some of My Best Friends Are Martians" written for this book?

I just wanted to post a little update for everyone here (Thanks for the vote of confidence too Geoff!). The book is all put together and we're getting ready to head to the printer's with it at the start of September. We have all of the signature sheets back except for one set that we are waiting on.

The Bradbury tale is an unpublished Mars tale from the early 1950's. It's a cool little social/political scifi piece from (what many believe is) his best period.

A couple of the things are a bit older (like the Matheson's collaboration and George Clayton Johnson's contribution), but all the stories are previously unpublished.

Well over half of the print run is reserved so don't miss out on a copy. The Deluxe will probably take a bit longer, but the trade will probably be done by the end of September.

PS: Cool video Nard. Thanks for posting the link!

Just wanted to let everybody know the trade edition is done and shipping now. Thanks to everybody who ordered one and we've still got some copies left for anybody else who's interested. The Deluxe Edition should be done and shipping from the binder later this month. Here's the link to the shopping cart: www.jasunni.com/shop

We're also planning on having a big signing in LA in February with a number of the contributors (including some legendary authors). More on this soon!
