Current Titles
The Duke In His Castle by Nebula Award-nominated author and award-winning artist Vera Nazarian is a dark, lush, erotic fantasy novella in the vein of Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast, with interior illustrations by the author. Rossian, the young Duke of Violet, wastes away in mad solitude, unable to leave the confines of his decadent castle grounds because of a mysterious invisible barrier...until a strange female intruder arrives at the castle bearing a box of bones.
"Vera Nazarian combines the wry and poignant charm of Hans Christian Andersen with the subversive wallop of Angela Carter in crafting this gem of a fairy tale. No longer merely a promising writer, Nazarian has arrived."
"Vera Nazarian is a writer seemingly so full of story that it just comes bubbling uncontrollably out of her... The Duke in his Castle shows her at the peak of her form in a deceptively simple tale that probes the nature of life and death, of power and succumbing, and ultimately of good and both the evils-active evil and the evil born from apathy."
Sword And Sorceress XXII edited by Elisabeth Waters
For over two decades, the late Marion Zimmer Bradley, best-selling and beloved author, discovered and nurtured a grand generation of popular and acclaimed authors including Mercedes Lackey, Jennifer Roberson, and a host of others. Authors who have appeared within the pages of Sword and Sorceress represent the full spectrum of some of the brightest talent working today—from C.J. Cherryh, Charles de Lint, and Emma Bull . . . to Laurell K. Hamilton, Diana L. Paxson, and. Deborah J. Ross. We are proud to continue the classic and vibrant feminist tradition with this new volume, edited by Elisabeth Waters, secretary and co-editor to Mrs. Bradley. Here are sixteen original stories of powerful women, swashbuckling and magic, spells and duels, arcane sorcery and heroic sacrifice, written by familiar spell-weavers of adventure and bright newcomers who are sure to become favorites. Enter a wondrous universe . . . Marion Zimmer Bradley's Sword and Sorceress
"From Esther M. Friesner's heartfelt tale of a woman's choice to do right rather than uphold tradition . . . to Sarah Dozier's fiction debut about a unique way to end a war . . . these 16 original stories demonstrate the unending variety of tales featuring women of might and magic . . . this well-balanced anthology edited by the late Marion Zimmer Bradley's longtime associate Waters belongs in most libraries."
