Buk Stuff

Oliver is scuttling away too much to get pictures of him with the new books as they come in, so here is one with good ol' Kazzie:



That's Streets of Shadows, an anthology of noir/urban fantasy. (I'd actually call most of it medium-boiled.) It includes my story "Der Kommisar's In Town", which is about Occupy and psychogeography. Well, basically.

Also, here is the table of contents for the forthcoming The Mammoth Book of Dieselpunk, which is a mixed anthology of reprints and original material:

“The Little Dog Ohori” by Anatoly Belilovsky
“In Lieu of a Thank You” by Gwynne Garfinkle, Strange Horizons
“Blood and Gold” by Erin Hartshorn
“Thief of Hearts” by Trent Hergenrader
“Rolling Steel: A Pre-Apocalyptic Love Story” by Jay Lake & Shannon Page, Clarkesworld
“Black Sunday” by Kim Lakin-Smith, Cyber Circus
“Act of Extermination” by Cirilo S. Lemos, translated by Christopher Kastensmidt, Dieselpunks
“We Never Sleep” by Nick Mamatas (Hey, it's me!)
“Into the Sky” by Joseph Ng
“Tunnel Vision” by Rachel Nussbaum
“Dragonfire is Brighter than the Ten Thousand Stars” by Mark Philps
“Cosmobotica” by Tony Pi
“Floodgate” by Dan Rabarts
“Mountains of Green” by Catherine Schaff-Stump
“Vast Wings Across Felonious Skies” by E. Catherine Tobler
“Instead of a Loving Heart” by Jeremiah Tolbert, All-Star Zeppelin Adventure Stories
“The Wings The Lungs, The Engine The Heart” by Laurie Tom, Galaxy’s Edge
“Steel Dragons of a Luminous Sky” by Brian Trent
“This Evening’s Performance” by Genevieve Valentine
“Don Quixote” by Carrie Vaughn, Armored
“The Double Bind” by A.C. Wise

My novelette, "We Never Sleep", is a thematic sequel of sorts to my 2012 story "Arbeitskraft", which was widely reprinted. So if you liked that one, you might like this one. I'm also pleased to note that only one story in this Sean Wallace-edited anthology has a title with a bunch of commas in it, so perhaps our long aesthetic nightmare is finally coming to an end.
