Ravens in the Library

Near the end of Arisia last weekend, I ran into [livejournal.com profile] shadesong and [livejournal.com profile] ktpinto in the "Hot Chicks with Books" room on dealer row, and somehow the topic of urban fantasy came up. I asked ktpinto if she'd read anything by one of my favorites in that genre, Holly Black (thanks, [livejournal.com profile] mzrowan, for introducing me to those books!). K had not heard of Holly, but shadesong piped in to say that she and Holly Black were going to appear in the same anthology soon, and handed me a flyer about Ravens in the Library.

There's here name, on the same list as Holly Black's - that was enough to make me want to buy it. But look! Featuring Tales by: Neil Gaiman! Charles de Lint. Francesca Lia Block!

It's a limited run, to raise funds to pay off [livejournal.com profile] s00j's medical bills (she's also got story in the book), and they will only sell enough copies to cover those expenses. If you want a copy of this book, preorder it now.

Thanks, Cos.

This collection's going to be legendary.

We just opened a community for it: http://community.livejournal.com/ravenslibrary/

I'll be posting updates there regularly.

Thanks for passing the word along!

Gosh, that's a pretty worthwhile list. Thanks.

Lots of other fabulous people in it too, like [livejournal.com profile] seanan_mcguire, who's finally publishing a novel in September!

Aaaaaah why must cross-border shipping be so expensive? I'll have to get Pauley or someone to snatch me a copy.

Pretty much only for Comic-Con in July.
