After rescuing her lover from the forces that trapped her in The Convent of the Pure, Portia Gyony has lost Imogen once again to the darkness that surrounds them. The only way to reunite is to walk through the shadow-worlds of the dead and bring Imogen back to the body that awaits her—a journey no nephilim was meant to take.

Still seeking out the boundaries of her own power, Portia descends into a realm where all trade is in souls and the machinations of the world itself are coming undone. Her quest for Imogen becomes a battle of angels and demons, where clockwork warriors and shattered souls battle to keep the shadows of the dead from bleeding into the land of the living. The cost of saving one world from the other may be the sacrifice of Portia’s lover once again.

“THE LABYRINTH OF THE DEAD is a sensual, apocryphal nightmare — an exquisite adventure that manages to be both epic and personal, sweet and vicious.”
—Cherie Priest, Hugo Award-nominated author of BONESHAKER, FATHOM, and FOUR AND TWENTY BLACKBIRDS

Set after the events of THE CONVENT OF THE PURE, this is the second chapter of Sara M. Harvey’s thrilling Penemue trilogy.

An Agreement with Hell is a fast-paced and action-packed contemporary horror novel where heaven and hell must join forces with a mysterious magic man to overcome a dark and dangerous foe.

Dru Pagliassotti is the author of the steampunk mmpb Clockwork Heart. Short fiction writers might know her as the editor of the well-respected ‘zine The Harrow.

We’ll be releasing Dru’s book this summer. Check back soon for an official release date and the announcement of a pre-order promotion.

We’ve all heard the stories of what happens to those who go to lovers’ lane and of the folly of flashing your lights at another car at night. We all know someone who knows someone that survived a meeting with Bloody Mary and another who picked up a hitchhiker that then disappeared. And we all know these stories aren’t true. They’re just urban legends. Right?

Wrong.

Sometimes the stories we hear are true. Often they’re more than they seem. These are the urban legends with alien explanations and the alien encounters mistaken for urban legends. The line between one and the other is so blurred in this anthology of stories about Close Encounters of the Urban Kind that you will never look another urban legend the same way again.

Featuring stories by Alma Alexander, Nathan Crowder, Carole Johnstone, Pete Kempshall, Jennifer Pelland, Erik Scott de Bie, Bev Vincent, and many others.

We’re offering this one with a pre-order discount of $3.00. Get our free shipping and you’ve got yourself quite a deal!

What the heck are the Last Drink Bird Head awards?

As Jeff VanderMeer states on his blog: “The purpose of the awards is to celebrate those in the genre community who enrich us with their time, energy, and words, often for causes greater than themselves. Finalists for this year’s award were chosen for efforts in 2008 and/or 2009. The winners will be announced at the Last Drink Bird Head Party at the World Fantasy Convention in San Jose, California (October 29, 8p.m., Imperial Parlor, 20th floor). Winners will receive a bird head figurine, a certificate, and chocolate.” Seems like a noble enough purpose to us.

One of the factors cited that contributed to Lavie’s nomination was his Apex anthology The Apex Book of World SF. Don’t miss out and order today!
