Three more great backlist titles have been released as audiobooks. First up, we have a pair of titles from the great James P. Blaylock – one Steampunk novella, and an eclectic short story collection…
- THE AFFAIR OF THE CHALK CLIFFS – Langdon St. Ives Novella #1 (Subterranean Press) – Richard Dadd
- 13 PHANTASMS (Subterranean Press) – James Gillies
Here’s just a small selection of what critics have said about the books…
‘While many recent novels have picked up the steampunk banner, this one fully delivers, offering action, farce, tender relationships, and prose full of genuine Victorian cadence and flavor.’ — Publishers Weekly on THE AFFAIR OF THE CHALK CLIFFS
‘If you haven’t read Blaylock before, this is a good place to start, particularly if you enjoy steampunk and/or mysteries. If you are a fan of Blaylock’s writing, you’ll want to add this to your collection.’ — SF Revu on THE AFFAIR OF THE CHALK CLIFFS
‘A short story collection from [Blaylock] is cause for celebration and rejoicing.’ — Neil Gaiman on 13 PHANTASMS
And finally, we also have a science-fiction anthology by Ian McDonald…
- EMPIRE DREAMS (Spectra / JABberwocky eBook) – William Gaminara
Ian’s fiction has been praised far and wide, and here are just a couple of examples…
‘One of the most interesting and accomplished science fiction writers of this latter-day era, indeed maybe the most interesting and accomplished, and certainly the most culturally and musically sophisticated, the Frank Herbert, William Gibson, or arguably even Thomas Pynchon of the early 21st century.’ — Asimov’s
‘McDonald’s power as a storyteller lies in his stylistic versatility and intensity of language as well as in his capacity to create vivid and memorable characters.’ — Library Journal
As before, the titles above include links to their respective Audible pages, original print-publisher, and narrator. There are a few remaining backlist titles still to come via Audible, and we’ll be sharing that info as soon as it’s available. Watch this space!
