Here’s the cover for Subterranean: Tales of Dark Fantasy 2, which will contain my first published short piece (a novelette of approx 30,000 words) in at least a decade, “Not Last Night but the Night Before.” Cover art is by Dave McKean.
Subterranean Press will publish a limited, 250-copy, signed & numbered, leatherbound & slipcased hardcover edition that features full-color art not available in the trade edition, along with a chapbook of two original Joe Lansdale stories. The trade hardcover will be clothbound. Subterranean publishes beautiful, high-quality books that are prized by collectors; I can’t wait till this (and, of course, my novel Mortality Bridge) comes out.
Publication date is now April 2011. I’ll post an excerpt from “Not Last Night….” before then.
