SHARDS: Cover image released - pre-orders available now.
"This is how flash fiction should be written - sharp, brilliant images conjured by amazingly few words. Cummings’ aptitude for flash fiction is evident in every carefully chosen phrase."
- Stephanie Gunn, HorrorScope.
SHARDS is the debut collection of dark flash fiction from Ditmar Award winner and multi-award nominee Shane Jiraiya Cummings, illustrated throughout and with a cover by me!
SHARDS features forty short, sharp tales, including stories that have appeared in Shadowed Realms, Apex Digest, Dark Wisdom, Horror Literature Quarterly, Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine, Borderlands, Shadow Box, Book of Shadows, Simulacrum, and Shorthorror.com, plus ten originals.
Each story is illustrated with full-page black and white artwork by Andrew McKiernan (39 illustrations in all, plus a full-colour cover).
SHARDS is now available for pre-order from Ticonderoga Publications (in limited numbered edition (500 only) and an ultra exclusive signed and numbered edition (30 only)). The limited edition is available for a short time at the low price of less than $20.
SHARDS is also available in a special pre-order bundle along with Sean Williams' 'best of' collection MAGIC DIRT and Lewis Shiner's upcoming collection LOVE IN VAIN. Save by ordering all three in one hit!
The collection is expected to be published in October 2008.
I'll post some images of the internal illustrations over the next couple of weeks so you can all get a sneak peek at the inside.
