From master anthologist Ellen Datlow comes an all-original of weird tales inspired by the strangeness of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There.

Datlow asked eighteen of the most brilliant and acclaimed writers working today to dream up stories inspired by all the strange events and surreal characters found in Wonderland.

Valente, Delia Sherman, Genevieve Valentine, Priya Sharma, Stephen Graham Jones, Richard Bowes, Jeffrey Ford, Angela Slatter, Andy Duncan, C.S.E.

Ebook en oferta: Lovecraft Unbound, antología de Ellen Datlow

Ésta es la sinopsis del libro:

The stories are legendary, the characters unforgettable, the world horrible and disturbing. Howard Phillips Lovecraft may have been a writer for only a short time, but the creations he left behind after his death in 1937 have shaped modern horror more than any other author in the last two centuries: the shambling god Cthulhu, and the other deities of the Elder Things, the Outer Gods, and the Great Old Ones, and Herbert West, Reanimator, a doctor who unlocked the secrets of life and death at a terrible cost. In Lovecraft Unbound, more than twenty of today's most prominent writers of literature and dark fantasy tell stories set in or inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft.

Crowdfunding: Women Destroy Science Fiction

Women Destroy Science Fiction es un número especial de la revista Lightspeed, editada por John Joseph Adams, que está siendo financiado mediante un proyecto de crowdfunding. Este número, que será editado por Christie Yant, tendrá una longitud algo superior a lo que es habitual en la revista e incluirá solamente historias escritas por mujeres (de ahí el título de la misma), entre las cuales ya se ha confirmado la presencia de Seanan McGuire y Maria Dahvana Headley.

Además, como la recaudación ha superado la cifra de 25.000$, se editará también un número especial escrito sólo por mujeres de Nightmare, revista hermana de Lightspeed pero dedicada al terror, que será dirigido por Ellen Datlow. Si se alcanzara la cifra de 35.000$ habría un tercer número especial de similares características, esta vez de la desaparecida revista Fantasy y editado por Cat Rambo.  

Si queréis participar en esta interesante iniciativa, aún tenéis una semana para hacerlo.
