The Book of Tentacles
Oct. 18th, 2009 12:41 pmI'd been wondering about me and anthologies. A number of my stories have been selected for anthologies, but none of the books had actually been published. Was I jinxing them?
Well, the first one is here! (So maybe it's not a jinx.) It's the Book of Tentacles, from SamsDot Publishing. It has my story, Blood Amber, and around thirty others. They all sound like fun, and I look forward to reading themsoon in about 3 weeks.
Here's the blurb:
"It's a perfect bound trade paperback, and if it has something to do with tentacles, it's in here: science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Yes, there are Cthulhu stories. Yes, there's interspecies romance [between writer and squid, for one]. Yes, there are suckers, graspers, vermicelli, carapaces, and strange adventures on land and in water. Come see what Scott Virtes and Edward Cox have assembled for your reading enjoyment. "

And here's what the website says:

And here's what the website says:
Come here . . . but not so close that
THEY can reach you. Not so close that
THEY can whisper their secrets into your ear.
THEY know the frailty of our minds, and the
joy of perverting sanity. THEY long to share
their stories of how the human race falls, of
sacrificed princes, and of mad women roaming
the streets of lost cities. THEY have tales
to tell of murder, mystery, magic, and of
things you cannot see.
THEY want you to listen. THEY want you to know.
Now come here. But not too close ...
or the tentacles will find you.
- strange last words of the mysterious Edward J.
