ReuÕise sa scape de pe ce mai ramasese din nucleul cometei distruse, sapase o groapa potrivita cu flacarile produse de ambalarea motorului Õi îngramadise micuÛa dar rezistenta nava ina untru, apoi îÕi închise eremtic costumul spaÛial Õi se caÛara afara din cockpit ...

That’s the Romanian version of the begining of my short story ‘Rats of the System’ which has just been published in the December isssue of Sci-Fi magazi. (Thanks to Catalin Moraru.)

Roll Up, Roll Up!

Ellen Datlow has just send me this retrotastic Barnum and Bailey style cover for her upcoming anthology (I know the title implies that it’s Del Rey’s, God bless ‘em all, but it wouldn’t have happened without Ellen). It includes a novelette (20,000 words: that’s a novelette, right? I’m a bit vague about the taxonomy) that Kim Newman and I wrote together. And 15 other original stories selected by one of the finest editors in the field. Here’s the list of contents. Pretty damn good, huh?
