Cuarta entrega de la serie Wayward Children

Seanan McGuire continuará su exitosa serie Wayward Children con una nueva entrega que verá la luz en enero de 2019. El título será In an Absent Dream y, continuando con el estilo creado, se podrá leer fuera de orden.

Los pocos datos que se saben son:

It tells the tale of Lundy, a very serious young girl, who walked through a door when she was eight, and walked back when her quest was finished. Though it wasn’t to be the only time she walked through and experienced the Goblin Market, where Fair Value determines not only how much you give for something, but also how much is taken from you…

And if Lundy ended up paying more than she expected? Well, that’s Fair Value, too.

Pero no solo esto, también se ha confirmado la existencia de una quinta entrega, que se titularía Come Tumbling Down.

Portada de A Cathedral of Myth and Bone

En Tor.com se ha publicado cuál será la portada de la próxima antología de Kat Howard, A Cathedral of Myth and Bone.

Los contenidos son:

 

  • A Life in Fictions
  • The Saint of the Sidewalks
  • Maiden, Hunter, Beast
  • Once, Future
  • Translatio Corporis
  • Dreaming Like a Ghost
  • Murdered Sleep
  • The Speaking Bone
  • Those Are Pearls
  • All of Our Past Places

  • Returned
  • The Calendar of Saints
  • The Green Knight’s Wife
  • Breaking the Frame

 

Aquí la sinopsis:

In these sixteen exquisite stories Kat Howard deftly weaves in and out of the countries of myth and hagiography to write the lives of women untold and unexplored.

A woman being written into her boyfriend’s fiction is at first flattered to be his muse, but then finds her real life literally consumed and overtaken by his. A desperate young woman makes a prayer to the Saint of Sidewalks, but the miracle she receives isn’t what she expected. A painter spies a naked man, crouched by the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, transform into a beautiful white bird and decides to paint him, and becomes involved in his curse. Jeanne, a duelist and a sacred blade for God and Her holy saints, finds that the price of truth is always blood. And in the novella “Once, Future” Howard reimagines the Arthurian romance on a modern college campus as a story that is told, and told again, until the ending is right.

Mundane and magical, profane and reverent, romantic and uncompromising, A Cathedral of Myth and Bone journeys into the liminal spaces of contemporary fiction and unfurls them.

Peter S. Beagle nombrado SFWA Damon Knight Grand Master

La SFWA (Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America) ha nombrado a Peter S. Beagle Gran Maestro por sus contribuciones a la literatura de género.

La presidenta de la asociación, Cat Rambo, declaró:

Peter Beagle’s work has been the gateway for multitudes of fantasy readers, but also writers as well, including myself. His work shines a light on the human heart and its beauties even when that heart is flawed and wanting, showing how that beauty arises from such imperfect conditions. Beagle unquestionably belongs among the greats, and I count it a privilege to invite him to be the next SFWA Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master.

Portada de City of Ghosts

Ya tenemos aquí la portada de City of Ghosts, el nuevo libro de Victoria Schwab. Dentro de su línea habitual con este nombre, se trata de una obra YA.

Esta es la sinopsis:

Cassidy Blake’s parents are The Inspectres, a (somewhat inept) ghost-hunting team. But Cass herself can REALLY see ghosts. In fact, her best friend, Jacob, just happens to be one.

When The Inspectres head to ultra-haunted Edinburgh, Scotland, for their new TV show, Cass—and Jacob—come along. In Scotland, Cass is surrounded by ghosts, not all of them friendly. Then she meets Lara, a girl who can also see the dead. But Lara tells Cassidy that as an In-betweener, their job is to send ghosts permanently beyond the Veil. Cass isn’t sure about her new mission, but she does know the sinister Red Raven haunting the city doesn’t belong in her world. Cassidy’s powers will draw her into an epic fight that stretches through the worlds of the living and the dead, in order to save herself.
