The New Weird in space

MySpace, that is. Check out The New Weird's MySpace page. There's a video trailer for The New Weird, a free download of Jay Lake's story from the NW anthology, "The Lizard of Ooze" (along with an interview), a bunch of groovy (or whatever the New Weird equivalent of groovy is) music on a NW jukebox, plus podcasts and more. It's too cool for school. For more about the New Weird anthology, check out this nifty press release that Jeff VanderMeer put together with the NW's greatest hits. (So far, anyway.)

And while I am on the subject of VanderMeer (actually VanderMeers), Ann and Jeff's newest Tachyon anthology, Steampunk should be hitting the bookstore shelves a bit early. Less waiting, more zeppelins! So you should actually be able to pick up your copy by early May. Even sooner if your request it from your local bookseller. Or email us to reserve a copy - we'll give you 20% off and free Media Mail shipping (U.S. orders only). With contributors like Neal Stephenson, Michael Chabon, Mary Gentle, and Ted Chiang, you will not want to miss this one.
