When will you RISE? Fifty days to the end of the world.

[seanan_mcguire]

We are now exactly fifty days from the publication of RISE, my first short fiction collection--and more, the first collection of short fiction from the Newsflesh universe. This stunning hardcover book will include, in order:

Countdown
"Everglades"
San Diego 2014: The Last Stand of the California Browncoats
How Green This Land, How Blue This Sea
The Day the Dead Came to Show and Tell
Please Do Not Taunt the Octopus
All the Pretty Little Horses
Coming to You Live

If those last two titles are unfamiliar, it's because they are two all new novellas, written specifically for this collection. Also new to this collection, introductions providing more information about every single story.

I am so excited about this collection, y'all. Copies will be available from bookstores all over North America on June 21st, right before CrossingsCon in New York. I'll be appearing at Borderlands Books, in San Francisco, CA on July 9th as part of the Superhero Team-Up book tour with Sarah Kuhn and Amber Benson, for all your signed copy needs.

Thank you so much for your ongoing support, which has made this book, and so much else, possible.

Rise up while you can.

I've been seeing Sunil flail about it on Twitter and Goodreads and I can't wait! It comes out the day I leave for NJ, so I'll get the ebook to read on the plane and get the paper copy on the 9th! *squee* The title of Coming to You Live is making me squee with anticipation.

Yay!!

Mine is pre-ordered, and I will try not to explode from anticipation!

I admit, I'm conflicted-- I read your newsflesh shorts but I've never read the novels because I don't think my heart could take it, so I'm waffling on the collection. =) Either way I go, however, YAY YOU! YAY BOOK!

(This has also led to some inadvertant extra heartache for me, as I had no idea who "Foxy" was when I read "The Day the Dead Came to Show and Tell"-- I just kind of ignored the frame story-- so when I read "Please Do Not Taunt the Octopus" and connected the dots, my heart shattered into a thousand tiny pieces.)

Love the Newsflesh series

I'm really looking forward to this. Gonna be so great to have all of those in one hardcopy collection.

Kinda bummed that the Superhero Team-up Book Tour isn't making it this far north, but I know y'all are doing as much as you can.

Just finished my review copy and now to start working on the review. But I don't think I will get it up until sometime next month or so. I reread everything and still bawled my eyes out about the Browncoats even knowing what would happen.
