Very nice line up you have there, looking forward to this one.

The Mad Hatter said...

Really looking forward to it. Will the Sub Press edition be out at the same time?

Lou Anders said...

Thanks guys. I don't have a release date on the limited yet but expect Sub Press to announce it very soon(ish).

Kat Howard said...

This looks like it will be amazing. Lots of fabulous people here.

Lou Anders said...

We wanted to do a definitive book and in all modesty, I think it will be.

RobB said...

Holy Jesus Palomino is that TOC impressive, you've done everything short of having Zombie Robert E. Howard and Zombie Fritz Leiber to make this a definitive book.

Is the Erikson tale a Malazan story?

ces said...

Hey, I know more than just 2 or 3 authors in this one! Definitely must buy it.

Will it be a Pyr book, a SubPress book, or both?

Lou Anders said...

It is not a Pyr book. It is a Harper Eos book, coming out in June 2010 in trade paperback. Shortly thereafter, Subterranean will release a limited hardcover run.

Jason M. Waltz said...

Congrats, Lou! My hat's off to you and Jonathan on the nice ToC. Looking forward to the read.

Charles R. Rutledge said...

I'll buy this one the day it hits the shelves. What a line up.

Lou Anders said...

RobB - not a Malazan story, but an amazing one.

Jason & Charles - thank you! And a good many of these stories are novelettes and novellas too.

ces said...

Thanks for the clarification Lou!

Lou Anders said...

Hey, thank YOU for the interest (now and always).

Lou Anders said...

Oh, I realized I should point out what I took as obvious, that these are all original stories, no reprints. Also, the Moorcock is a new Elric story, the Siverberg a new Majipoor, the Cook a new Black Company, the Enge a Morlock tale, the Keyes a Fool Wolf tale, the Abercrombie featuring characters from his next work...

RobB said...

Thanks Lou. I really enjoyed Erikson's Grandma Matchie (which wasn't Malazan either) so either way it will be cool.

Lou Anders said...

Oh, it is. It is!

Rene Sears said...

What a fantastic TOC! Looking forward to this.

Michael Natale said...

to quote Scott Lynch:

Jesus H. Pancake Flippin' Christ!

What a *perfect* line up.

Yusuf Martin said...

A drool worthy list indeed. I do hope that this book will be available in Malaysia.

Lou Anders said...

I don't actually know!

Steve the Bookstore Guy said...

I'm gonna contact some people over at Eos to make sure my review blog (Elitist Book Reviews) gets a copy of this to read ahead of time.

Lou, this is seriously killer.

Lou Anders said...

Glad you think so Steve. I cannot tell you how -So. Damn. Proud.- of it I am.

I only know Joe Abercrombie from that list, but I'm still going to order it, if only for his story!

Lou Anders said...

You only know Abercrombie, seriously? Well, good thing he's in the book!
