The Bodhisattva

Taking a break from the grunt part of the our forthcoming new redesign and no rest for me, instead I take 5 and announce a new contest for you lovers of short fiction.  Two winners will be walking away with a copy of Clockwork Phoenix edited by Mike Allen that includes stories from people like Catherynne M. Valente, Cat Rambo, Laird Barron, Ekaterina Sedia, John C. Wright and Tanith Lee (and more!)  Earlier this year we hosted a story by Leah Bobet from this anthology entitled Bell, Book, and Candle.

This is published by Norilana Books and this is what Publisher’s Weekly had to say about it:

“Author and editor Allen (Mythic) has compiled a neatly packaged set of short stories that flow cleverly and seamlessly from one inspiration to another. In “The City of Blind Delight” byCatherynne M. Valente , a man inadvertently ends up on a train that takes him to an inescapable city of extraordinary wonders. In “All the Little Gods We Are,” Hugo winner John Grant takes a mind trip to possible parallel universes. Modern topics make an appearance among the whimsy and strangeness: EkaterinaSedia delves into the misunderstandings that occur between cultures and languages in “There Is a Monster Under Helen’s Bed,” while Tanith Lee gleefully skewers gender politics with “The Woman,” giving the reader a glimpse of what might happen if there was only one fertile woman left in a world of men. Lush descriptions and exotic imagery startle, engross, chill and electrify the reader, and all 19 stories have a strong and delicious taste of weird”

All FBS/BSC members are eligible to win and all you have to do is PM and you are entered!
