Cracklescape Giveaway

Margo Lanagan, yes that Margo Lanagan not the other one*, has written a collection for Twelfth Planet Press called Cracklescape.  If you are lucky enough to be coming to Continuum 8 I hear that TPP are holding a Cupcake and Cocktail book launch on the Friday night at Continuum.

But if you are not coming and are a bit light on cash you could throw your hat in the ring for a giveaway.

crackleThe Blurb

A presence haunts an old dresser in an inner-city share house. Shining sun-people lure children from their carefree beachside lives. Sheela-na-gigs colonise a middle-aged man’s outer and inner worlds. And a girl with a heavy conscience seeks relief in exile on the Treeless Plain.
These stories from four-time World Fantasy Award winner Margo Lanagan are all set in Australia, a myth-soaked landscape both stubbornly inscrutable and crisscrossed by interlopers’ dreamings. Explore four littoral and liminal worlds, a-crackle with fears and possibilities.

Sounds good, Sean. BTW, there's another book/magazine launch at Continuum. On Saturday at six pm, there's a joint launch of ASIM 56 and Peggy Bright Books' latest anthology Light Touch Paper, Stand Back, a by-invitation antho with stories by the likes of Dave Luckett, Sean McMullen, Thoraiya Dyer and many more(including yours truly). We don't alas, have cocktails, just soft drink, but we do have birthday cake with the covers on the icing. ;-)

Cool. I will pencil it in. Psst have actually read your story, very good. With cupcakes and cakes I will have to diet when I get home. Hope to have finished the whole collection by next week. It's a contender for next year for sure.

Have you got the press release so I can publicise?

Will email you about this. You've read Five Ways To Start A War? Wow! Glad you liked it. I was in a very illy mood when I wrote it.
