A FANTASY MEDLEY 2 review and reminder.

You may or may not remember that I've got a story appearing in A Fantasy Medley 2 from Subterranean Press, due out this November. This is a spectacularly lovely limited-edition book, featuring stories from me, Tanya Huff, Amanda Downum, and Jasper Kent. And when I say "limited," I mean it: the print run is restricted to 224 numbered copies signed by the authors and editor, and 1,500 fully cloth bound hardcover copies. That's it. No more copies will be made.

But! That's not all! We just got a starred review from Publishers Weekly! You can read the full review right here, and here's what they had to say about my story, "Rat-Catcher":

"Seanan McGuire's "Rat-Catcher," set hundreds of years before her October Daye books, is both charming and gut-wrenching."

Yay!

So anyway, I'm just gonna leave the link to the ordering page over here, for those who might be interested. It really is a beautiful book, and if you want to read Tybalt's origin story, this is the way to do it.

(Note: "Rat-Catcher" happens hundreds of years before the main series, and doesn't impact anything. It's just background. I really love it, but it is not essential to read and enjoy the books. I promise.)

Squee!

I really want to buy it, but shipping to the UK is going to cost another $15! Will the story ever be published somewhere else? *sadface*

Edit: Or will I be able to buy it from any UK sellers? Amazon.co.uk seems to think maybe, but I am unsure.

Someday, in the very far future, I may have enough Toby shorts to do a collection, ala Kelley Armstrong's Tales of the Otherworld. But until then, sadly, no.

I don't know about UK sellers, I think it depends on whether someone there buys one for resale.

Sub has done some ebooks but I don't know if they do it for the anthologies.. You could try Cold Tonnage or another specialty dealer in the UK to see if they will have it.

You could try taking the isbn into a bookshop and asking them if they'd order it in for you? I've done well on books from abroad via waterstones in that way before - of course, the exchange rate's flailed about a bit, but it might be worth asking them? (Waterstones have regular shipments coming in from the USA, iirc, and therefore last time I ordered there was no shipping and not much extra on the usa price. It's been a while, though!)
