Release Week for The Weird Anthology: How You Can Help. This week our anthology The Weird: A Compendium of Strange and Dark Stories is officially on sale. All this week we’re posting original content over at Weirdfictionreview.com, including an exclusive interview with the son of Amos Tutuola, fiction from Tutuola, an interview with Kathe Koja, Georg Heym’s iconic poetic short-short “The Dissection” and an essay on Heym by Gio Clairval, among other features. However, ever since the site debuted in November, we’ve been posting content related to the anthology, so check out the archives. How You Can Help! If you like weird fiction and want to support huge honkin’ anthologies full of weird fiction, here are some of the things you can do to help. Note: The Weird is a May featured pick of Amazon, Kirkus, Powell’s, and io9! —Buy the book. It’s currently selling for a good price for an oversized hardcover. Buy it for friends. Buy it for family. From your preferred seller: —Review the book. Blog, review site, or on a sandwich board in front of your local bookstore. Any mention, especially noting whatever you really liked about the book, helps immensely. —Review it on Amazon. Go to the Amazon sales page for the book and tell other readers what you liked about it. A quick and easy way to help get the word out and create interest. —Make sure local booksellers carry it. The anthology seems to have a strong presence in bookstores, but you can always encourage booksellers who aren’t stocking it. You can even tell them it’s by the same people that brought them the Steampunk anthologies. —Request it from your local library. Making sure your local library knows about the anthology not only increases library orders but allows multiple people to enjoy the book. —Spread the word through twitter and facebook. Tell people about the anthology through social media, using one of the links above to bookseller sites or link to one of these Weirdfictionreview.com posts: The Weird’s table of contents More information about The Weird —Come to the events. Ann and I will be at BEA in June, I’ll be at Stonecoast in Maine and at ReaderCon in July, and we’ll also both be doing some events in the Carolinas in late July (to be announced). We’ll have details on the events shortly. More Info on the Anthology. I think by now, if you’ve followed this blog, you know the idea behind The Weird, but in case you missed it… THE WEIRD: A Compendium of Strange and Dark Stories Edited by Ann and Jeff VanderMeer. Tor Books (North American edition) Foreword: Michael Moorcock Introduction by the Editors Afterword: China Mieville. Starred Reviews in Publishers Weekly and Booklist. Over one hundred years of weird fiction collected in a single volume of over 750,000 words, from around 1908 through 2010. Strands of The Weird represented include classic US/UK weird tales, the Belgian School of the Weird, Japanese weird, Latin American weird, Nigerian weird, weird SF, Feminist weird, weird ritual, general international weird, and offshoots of the weird originating with Surrealism, Symbolism, and the Decadent movement. The publishers believe this is the largest volume of weird fiction ever housed between the covers of one book. ‘The definitive collection of weird fiction… its success lies in its ability to lend coherence to a great number of stories that are so remarkable different and yet share the same theme’ TLS. ‘Studded with literary gems, it’s a hefty, diligently assembled survey of a genre that manages to be at once unsettling, disorientating and bracing in its variety.’ James Lovegrove, Financial Times. ‘It’s a tremendous experience to go through its 1,126 pages… there are so many delights in this that any reader will find something truly memorable’ Scotland on Sunday. ‘Readers eager to explore a world beyond the ordinary need look no further’ Time Out. ISBN 13: 9780857894878. The Weird: A Compendium of Strange and Dark Stories. VanderMeer, Ann. This specific ISBN edition is currently not available. From Lovecraft to Borges to Gaiman, a century of intrepid literary experimentation has created a corpus of dark and strange stories that transcend all known genre boundaries. Together these stories form The Weird and amongst its practitioners number some of the greatest names in twentieth and twenty-first century literature. Exotic and esoteric, The Weird plunges you into dark domains and brings you face to face with surreal monstrosities; you won't find any elves or wizards here. but you will find the boldest and downright most peculiar stories from the last hundred years bound together in the biggest Weird collection ever assembled. The Weird features an all star cast of authors, from classics to international bestsellers to Booker prize winners. Here are Ben Okri and George R.R. Martin, Angela Carter and Kelly Link, Franz Kafka and China Mieville, Clive Barker and Haruki Murakami, M.R. James and Neil Gaiman, Mervyn Peake and Michael Chabon, Stephen King and Daphne Du Maurier. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. THE WEIRD has been compiled by Ann and Jeff VanderMeer. Ann is the Hugo Award-winning editor of Weird Tales magazine (founded 1923) and has worked with her husband Jeff on the World Fantasy Award-winning Leviathan series of anthologies as well as on the genre-defining anthologies The New Weird and Steampunk. Jeff's novel Finch (Corvus 2010) is currently shortlisted for the Hugo and Locus awards. Excerpt. � Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. : THE WEIRD: TABLE OF CONTENTS.
