Stocking Stuffers and Clockwork Jungles

Twelfth Planet Press Stocking Stuffer Sale

In celebration of the release of the Aurealis Awards shortlist, Twelfth Planet Press is having a Silly Season Sale! All through December they’re offering Shipping deals on all orders of their books that earned a spot in the short-list (that’d be Horn, the New Ceres Nights anthology, Deborah Biancotti’s Book of Endings collection, and the Sirenbeat/Roadkill double).

Right now, that means you can pick up Horn for $10. And it’s just about the right size to fit into a stocking (if, say, you knew someone who really deserved a noir tale about evil unicorns and snuff films for Christmas).

Shimmer: Clockwork Jungle Book Issue

Shimmer Magazine just released its Clockwork Junglebook theme issue, chock-full of steampunk animal fables for your reading pleasure (including mine – The Clockwork Goat and the Smokestack Magi). The website has short teasers of all the stories, links to author interviews (me included), and order details if funky steampunk is your kind of thing.

‘Course, if it were me, I’d subscribe instead of ordering the single issue. Not only is Shimmerthe magazine with the good sense to publish a whole bunch of Angela Slatter’s work in the past, but I know a bunch of fine writers whose stories they’ve got sitting in inventory for future issues. Trust me when I say you won’t regret it.
