Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to my first collection, Scenting the Dark and Other Stories. I’ve loved Subterranean Press for a long time now and can’t describe how ecstatic I am about this little book. The cover art is an original by Sandro Castelli and the book design is by Gail Cross. You can’t see the interior yet, but in pdf form it makes me long to have the pages in my hands. So beautiful.
We here at SubPress are fans of elegant small collections such as Antiquities by John Crowley or The Devil in the Details by James P. Blaylock and Tim Powers. Our latest offering fits solidly in that mode. Scenting the Dark and Other Stories, the debut hardcover by Campbell Award-winner Mary Robinette Kowal packs a powerful 25,000 words into its roughly 100 pages. Do yourself a favor and check out one of our finest new short story writers — and novelist, as Mary just sold a pair to Tor (Congrats!)
I’m just delighted.
Awesome! And what a beautiful cover!
Woo! You are so full of awesome!! 😀
Congrats! Great cover, great publisher!
That is a gorgeous cover. If fits perfectly with your amazing collection.
I’m so excited for you!
Thanks, Lon! And your text is on the back, with only some minor tweaking.
Neat! I’m glad I was able to help!
Congratulations! What a great cover!
I’m so pleased they’re doing this as a hardcover. That means I get to buy it!
Do you have a release date?
It comes out in November.
Neat cover! Will there be artwork inside as well? More great news!
No, but the interior design is very pretty.
Congrats!
Bought mine. I will probably forget and then in November will have a lovely surprise XD
Yay!
Very cool, Mary. And that’s a great cover.
Pretty cool to see your Apex story headlining the collection. It’s definitely one that deserves broader exposure.
It’s also got the original, non-flash version of “Locked In” as well. I think Apex is the only market with two stories in the collection. Thanks for giving them a home.
Congrats! It’s awesome.
That’s a wonderful cover. Congratulations! I’m really looking forward to reading it.
What? No coupon code?
Just kidding. Ordered one. 🙂
