Heads Up - Showtime Cover

Showtime Book 5 in the Twelve Planets Series from cutting edge small press Publisher TPP has has a cover – another unique piece of book design from Amanda Rainey.

And you know what a cover means?  The book isn’t far behind.

Narrelle M Harris is the author of this collection and here website can be found here.

But for those eager for a taste, here is the back cover copy:

 

Family drama can be found anywhere: in kitchens, in cafes. Derelict hotels, showground rides. Even dungeons far below ruined Hungarian castles. (Okay, especially in Hungarian dungeons.)

Old family fights can go on forever, especially if you’re undead. If an opportunity came to save someone else’s family, the way you couldn’t save your own, would you take it?

Your family might include ghosts, or zombies, or vampires. Maybe they just have allergies. Nobody’s perfect.

Family history can weigh on the present like a stone. But the thing about families is, you can’t escape them. Not ever. And mostly, you don’t want to.

It’s a beautiful collection of pieces, each one utterly classic and completely new at the same time… In Narrelle’s hands, everything old is new again, and everything new has the weight of age. There’s magic in that, and in this book.

— Seanan McGuire

Keep your eyes peeled for this one.

Very exciting. Having a subscription to the Twelve Planets series is excellent - all the books so far have been great and it is good to know that more are going to turn up in the post at random intervals!

I hear that theMargo Lanagan title is not far away either
Fantastic. I have Sea Hearts/The Brides of Rollrock Island to read in the near future as well - could be Lanagan overload!
