2017 Subscription Offer

2017 Subscription Offer





Dear Friends of Undertow,


 


The subscription offer in 2016 proved very popular so I am once again pleased to offer a subscription for our 2017 releases. 


 


We will be publishing hardback versions of our titles this year, with completely different covers than the trade editions. There will be 3 different subscription offers: a trade subscription; a hardback subscription; and a combo subscription (trade AND hardback editions). When you purchase a subscription you save approximately 25% off our regular pricing. In essence, you are getting 4 books for the price of 3. I do hope you’ll once again take advantage of this offer.


 


But, you ask, what books are you publishing?


 


Our 2017 releases:


 


Shadows & Tall Trees, Vol. 7 – anthology edited by Michael Kelly featuring all new original fiction from Brian Evenson, Alison Moore, Mary Rickert, Robert Shearman, and other luminaries. (April)


 


The Dream Operator – short story collection by Mike O’Driscoll. (July)


 


I Will Surround You – short story collection by Conrad Williams. (October)


 


Year’s Best Weird Fiction, Vol. 4 – edited by Helen Marshall & Michael Kelly. (October)


 


NOTE – Worldwide postage is included in all pricing.


 


A Trade Subscription is $75.


 


A Hardback Subscription is $110.


 


A Combo Subscription is $165. (Best value – 4 trades and 4 hardbacks with different covers)


 


You can order from our ‘Shop’ page, or you can PayPal directly to undertowbooks@gmail.com with this in the subject line: Undertow Subscription: (Insert Subscription name). ie. Undertow Subscription: Hardback


 


I know you are going to love these 4 books as much as I do.


 


Thank you all for your support!

Shadows and Tall Trees 7 ToC

If you didn’t catch this announcement on The Outer Dark a couple weeks ago, for shame, I am now extremely pleased to present here the Table of Contents for “Shadows & Tall Trees 7.” The quality of submissions was superb, and I easily could have filled another volume, but at 100,000 words this is a meaty volume, as is. Thanks to all who sent in work for consideration.
