Alembical, an anthology of four novellas from Paper Golem press, is now available for pre-order. This book has some very fine work from Bruce Taylor, jimvanpelt, Ray Vukcevich and myself — in my case, the alternate history novella “America, Such as She Is” about a World War II which ended rather differently. I think it’s one of my very best stories to come into print this year.

So what are you waiting for? Go pre-order a copy!

Because it's you, I shall juxtapose the Bard with urban argot:

Thou be stuntin' like a true playa. Ho!

Better, then, a well-armed staff than well-ribboned distaff, too soon unspun, and being uspun unspent and, thus, misspent and undone even before it is well-undressed.

Okay, that's about all the pun-slinging I'm good for this time of night. Good thing I'm hanging with some Sonnet 116 by Big Willy in the morning with my Honors/AP seniors . . .

I had no choice but to include such an excellent cover. The novellas inside demanded nothing less!

I can't take all the credit. Our resident golem and spokesicon, Emmet, was really responsible.

Guess the truth's out about Emmet, then.

Har! My first ever Hebraic pun.
