The preview looks great, but the second volume of horror stories is what I'm the most excited about! I read a lot of anthologies and collections this year, and the first volume of horror stories made my top 5.

Agreed! There wasn't a less-than-great read in the first volume!!

"There wasn't a less-than-great read in the first volume!! " -- so very true, Kimberly!!

Nancy Oakes (quinnsmom) | 302 comments Hey, keepers of Castle Valancourt, I have a question. Do you have a date range yet for publication of The Statement of Stella Maberly? The reason I'm asking is that for this year's crime project, I'm doing mainly early crime fiction writers, and this is perfect!

I'd like to read that one just for pleasure!

Fun is right.

I meant "pleasure" is right.

We're planning on having that one out in February but no set date yet. It might be closer to the second half of the month.
