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!

So I was waffling on buying this because as much as I really want to read the Tybalt story, I had no desire to read any of the other stories since I don't read those books and figured I'd just be lost and I wouldn't appreciate them anyway.

That review changed my mind. Pre-ordered! (And, huh, although it says $25 for the regular edition on the page, when I ordered, it was actually $20...and then I saw that it was even cheaper on Amazon, as I had looked back through old e-mails and found that that is how I'd ordered the last thing I bought from SP, and Yanni Facebook messaged me to give me the number of my book because it had been signed but not numbered. Aw. They're good people.) Anyway, the point is I am spending my grandmother's birthday money on you. *waits for the Velveteen book to go up for pre-order*
