Rjurik Davidson scores two-novel deal with Tor Books US!
Posted by Paul Raven on September 3rd, 2010 at 12:27
Great news for the reviewers who were so seduced by the Caeli-Amur stories in Rjurik Davidson‘s recent PS Showcase collection, The Library of Forgotten Books – Rjurik’s agent John Jarrold has just hooked him up with Tor Books in the States, and hammered out a deal for two novels set in the Caeli-Amur universe!
Our heartiest congratulations to Rjurik; we like it when our authors sell books elsewhere! But if you’ll permit us a moment of self-interest, I’d point out that the good Mr Davidson’s about to become a much bigger name than he has been, which will make our rather natty Showcase editions all the more collectible (as well as being full of excellent fiction)… so why not snap one up now while they’re still available, eh? ;)
PS Publishing to release debut novel from Terry Dowling
Posted by Peter Crowther on February 23rd, 2010 at 16:31
There’s always a buzz around the PS offices for our upcoming projects but it’s fair to say we’re particularly excited about Clowns at Midnight, the upcoming debut novel from Australian master of the Fantastic, Terry Dowling.
I first came across Terry’s work in a collection entitled Twilight Beach, and fell head over heels in love with the story “Larrikin Wind”. So, as soon as I had a suitable anthology project on the boil, I lost no time in contacting Terry for a new story — the result was “The Maiden Death” in Destination: Unknown [1997]. Unsurprisingly, when the opportunity arose for PS to publish Terry’s first full-length work there was absolutely no hesitation. And that was even before we’d read it. Now that we have read it, I can only say this: it’ll be an absolute ground-breaker.
Don’t just take my word for it, though; here’s what senior PS editor Nick Gevers thinks of it.
Clowns at Midnight is a masterpiece of suspense – a suspense that is multiplied, rendered all the more terrifying, by the brilliantly constructed ambiguity of the plot. This is the territory of John Fowles’s great novels, The Magus and A Maggot: a psychological landscape in which the reliability of perception, of memory, and of narration is interrogated to its uttermost limits. And Terry Dowling’s fine prose is quite the equal of Fowles’s in the bargain. Editing this novel has been a very great pleasure indeed.
Dowling was influenced early by writers such as Ballard, Vance, and Bradbury as well as by surrealist painters such as Dali, Delvaux and Ernst. In addition to writing many short stories, he has co-edited The Essential Ellison, The Jack Vance Treasury, The Jack Vance Reader and Mortal Fire: Best Australian SF.
Clowns at Midnight will be published in June 2010, with pre-ordering possible in March*. This one won’t last long on the stockroom shelves, so we’re recommending you don’t hang around – click that BUY button as soon as it appears in order to avoid disappointment.
[ * Don't forget that postage is free on the top state of any and all titles pre-ordered before publication for the foreseeable future... - PGR. ]

That’s a really exciting list and we are still on course to launch the book at Fantasy Con 2010 in Nottingham, with lots of the contributors expected to be present and ready to sign the book, talk about their story, accept the offer of drink, sign a 5 book deal before anybody else snaps them up, etc!
Cheers, Mr Ashley!
It’s been interesting for me to follow the progress of Catastrophia at one remove like this, and I hope you’ve found it interesting too; maybe we’ll do more of it in the future! In the meantime, we’ll keep you updated on this project as further news arrives.
Catastrophia author update
Posted by Paul Raven on October 13th, 2009 at 10:34
A quick note from Allen Ashley regarding a Catastrophia contributor:
I said I would get back with some information about Billie Bundschuh, author of “Steven’s Boat”. Billie plays bass guitar in alternative rock band Atlas Takes Aim. “Steven’s Boat” is her first accepted story, which is exciting for her and, of course, exciting and rewarding for her editor.
Awww! Ain’t it a wonderful world, folks? :)

Plus a short introduction by myself.
This is not the end of the Catastrophia postings as I hope soon to announce a provisional launch date and venue, at which we hope to have many of the authors attending with biro or fountain pen in hand. Also, I will no doubt want to waffle on a little more about how great this anthology is going to be. So, keep checking in!
You heard the man – we’ll keep you posted with further developments.
But while I’m here, have you enjoyed following along with the development of this anthology here at the PS Newsroom? We thought it might be a fun thing to do for future projects, so let us know what you think!
Final four Catastrophia acceptances
Posted by Paul Raven on September 14th, 2009 at 12:43
Allen Ashley reports that the final four stories for the Catastrophia anthology have been selected. Take it away, Allen:
I have now agreed the final four acceptances for this soon-to-be landmark anthology. They are “Up” by Andrew Hook, “Gravity Wave” by Douglas Thompson, “Scalped”‘ by Jet McDonald and, last but not least, “Steven’s Boat” by Billie Bundschuh.
About the authors:
- Andrew Hook will be already familiar to many of you; he has published three story collections, one novel and one novella. He successfully ran the award winning Elastic Press for 6 brilliant years.
- Douglas Thompson has won a couple of writing awards and has published short stories in Ambit, The London Magazine, Chapman, New Writing Scotland, Dark Horizons, and the Subtle Edens anthology of Slipstream. His first novel, Ultrameta, is just out from Eibonvale Press and will be officially launched at Glasgow Waterstone’s on 1.10.09.
- Jet McDonald previously appeared as “Josh McDonald” with a story in the anthology Subtle Edens (editor Allen Ashley, Elastic Press, 2008). He won the art competition at the Subtle Edens launch in November 2008, and he is currently gigging regularly with his band Jetfly.
- Billie Bundschuh – I am still awaiting biographical details from Billie. I believe that she is a fairly new American author, and I will post a short bio at a later date.
Allen’s going to send over a complete Table of Contents listing soon, so we can list everything in one place – keep your eyes peeled!
Further Catastrophia acceptances
Posted by Paul Raven on August 27th, 2009 at 14:16
Allen Ashley’s approaching the final furlong with his Catastrophia anthology; here’s his report on the latest addition to the table of contents:
I am pleased to announce the fourteenth acceptance for the anthology. The story is by James L. Sutter, is approximately 7500 words long, and is called “The Long Road to the Sea”. James lives in Seattle and works for Paizo Publishing. Ahead of his appearance in Catastrophia, look out for James’s anthology Before They Were Giants, due from Paizo Publishing USA in Summer 2010. This book features reprints and interviews around the first published stories of authors such as William Gibson, Larry Niven and China Mieville.
I’m told that the book is now nearly full; Allen will let us know about the final few stories soon.
Catastrophia update – an unexpected acquisition
Posted by Paul Raven on August 22nd, 2009 at 13:46
Here’s the latest news from the desk of Allen Ashley, editor of the forthcoming Catastrophia anthology:
I have just taken story number thirteen for the book. And this one comes with added excitement and intrigue. Why? Well, I have accepted a story called “Trouble with Telebrations” which purports to be by a late, famous British catastrophe author – let’s call him J. B. Harris. If genuine, this may be the biggest coup yet for Catastrophia. If not genuine, this is still a piece which bridges Golden Age catastrophe fiction and our more sophisticated, twenty-first century take on the subject.
J. B. Harris, eh – I wonder who that might be? ;)
Two more Catastrophia acceptances
Posted by Paul Raven on July 21st, 2009 at 11:21
Here’s the latest skinny from Allen Ashley on the Catastrophia anthology editing process:
I can now confirm two further acceptances for the Catastrophia anthology. Both stories are around 5000 words long. The first is “In the Face of Disaster” by British-based author Ian Sales, who is represented by the prestigious John Jarrold Literary Agency.
The second is called “Crashes” and is by another British-based author, Stuart Young, who won the British Fantasy Society Award in 2006 for Best Novella. These are acceptances numbers eleven and twelve, so the book is getting close to full.
To confirm, Catastrophia is closed to all further submissions. The rest of the anthology’s content will be chosen from the stories I am currently holding for further, thorough consideration.
We’ll keep you posted with further developments!
Catastrophia anthology update
Posted by Paul Raven on July 13th, 2009 at 12:47
Here’s Allen Ashley’s latest update on the Catastrophia submissions pile:
I have been working my way through the backlog of submissions and can now report that I have read everybody’s stories at least once and, in some cases, several times. Everybody has now heard back from me: with either an acceptance, a rejection or a holding email. At present, I still have 10 definite acceptances for the book. However, I am also holding another twenty or so for further, detailed consideration. I don’t want to get anybody’s hopes up unnecessarily but I expect to take a few of this latter group, possibly subject to a slight rewrite. So, thank you for your patience, it is very much appreciated. I will post again when I have more news.
We’ll post further updates as they arrive! Just to preclude any queries, though: the submissions window has been closed for some time, and if you’re waiting on news about your story you’ll need to wait for an email from Allen. I am but the conduit! :)
More Catastrophia acceptances
Posted by Paul Raven on June 16th, 2009 at 12:30
Here’s the latest news from Allen Ashley, tireless editor of the forthcoming Catastrophia anthology:
Exciting news: Catastrophia has now reached double figures. I am pleased to confirm that I have now accepted stories number nine and ten for the anthology. They are “Something for Nothing” by Joe Essid and “Pixels on a Screen” by Patrick Shuler. Joe Essid has published several academic articles, as well as poetry and non-fiction in Pangaia and Mother Millennia. Patrick Shuler has been published in The Clapboard House and is working on a novella.
Please note that Catastrophia is closed to all new submissions. I am still reading the remaining submissions – about 100 or so – and all authors will hear from me in due course. If you’ve sent me a story, your patience is appreciated. There will be more news soon, so keep checking this blog.
You heard the man – we’ll update you here as soon as we have more news!
Catastrophia now closed to submissions
Posted by Paul Raven on June 1st, 2009 at 11:59
Here’s the latest from Catastrophia editor Allen Ashley:
That’s it, folks – Catastrophia is now completely closed to all new submissions. 31 May 2009 was always going to be the closing date and we are now beyond that. The submission window was open for 10 fantastic, fruitful months – so no hand wringing or excuses if you didn’t get round to submitting.
For those of you thinking this is the end of the process – far from it! I have so far only officially accepted 8 stories or about half a book’s worth. I am in close but secret negotiations over a couple of other stories and expect to announce their acceptance soon. But I still have, at a quick count on my submission list, 111 stories to consider and as many authors to respond to. So, you will all hear from me over the next two or three months, including all those authors who have received a “holding for second reading” email. For the record, I received 40 submissions in the final fortnight. You guys certainly like to leave it late!
Ah, deadlines – the writer’s greatest motivator! Good luck to all those who have submitted – Allen will be updating us on acceptances as the process continues, so watch this space. :)
Last chance for Catastrophia submissions
Posted by Paul Raven on May 18th, 2009 at 13:06
As the deadline looms, here’s another update from Allen Ashley on the Catastrophia anthology:
Come in Catastrophians, your time is almost up! Just a quick reminder to all authors that the closing date for this anthology is 31st May 2009. That means, all manuscripts must be received by me by that date. Anything received later will not be considered.
The submission window has been open for a terrific ten months but now it’s time to sit back and seriously collate the anthology.
For your information, North American submissions take between 7 to 14 days to arrive – so if you are posting from abroad, get it in the box today!
Once the submission window has closed, there will still be lots of news, so keep an eye on this blog for latest acceptances, publicity, cover art and other updates. As I anticipated, I have received a swathe of last minute submissions so it will take me quite a while to read them all thoroughly and reply to each individual author. I am also holding several manuscripts for further consideration, so my work is far from done!
So, a big thank you to everyone who has submitted to or enquired about Catastrophia. Your patience is appreciated. Your enthusiasm for the project has been a revelation. Nice one!
You heard the man – get that story in the mail now! I’ll be posting further updates from Allen as soon as receive them, so no need to email either of us asking for news; in the meantime, why not start writing something new? You never know when the next anthology will open… :)

We’re going to make a monthly feature of announcements like this, so keep your eyes peeled to see if we snap up a new gem from one of your favourites!
More Catastrophia acceptances
Posted by Paul Raven on April 21st, 2009 at 13:05
Here’s the latest news from Allen Ashley, still hard at work on his Catastrophia anthology (which is due to be published by PS in late 2010). Take it away, Allen:
I have accepted two more stories for this exciting anthology. The stories are “Happy Ending” by Simon Clark and “A Hard Place” by Carole Johnstone. Simon should need no introduction as he is the author of many fine novels including Blood Crazy and Night of the Triffids (the official sequel to the John Wyndham classic); Carole is a newer British author who has recently featured in Black Static (TTA Press).
The anthology is now half full or better, depending on how many words I use in my editorial. I’m replying to everybody within the three-month deadline. So, thank you to all of you for your patience, especially those authors from whom I’ve requested rewrites or more time in which to make a decision. The submission period closes on 31st May 2009; any stories received after that date will not be considered.
So, you’ve got a little more than a month if you want to submit a story for consideration! But make sure you read the full submission guidelines first, won’t you? Good luck!
Latest Catastrophia anthology update
Posted by Paul Raven on February 16th, 2009 at 15:09
Here’s the latest update from Allen Ashley on the selection process for the forthcoming Catastrophia anthology:
Things are progressing well with Catastrophia. I have had a large number of submissions recently, many of which demand a second or third reading, so please remain patient whilst I make my mind up.
I have just accepted story number six, a piece called “Fade” by Surrey-based author David Gullen. The story is approximately 4000 words long. David is a member of the well-known London and South East writing group called The T Party, whose alumni include many other excellent authors and editors such as Gary Couzens, Roseanne Rabinowitz, Martin Owton and Trevor Denyer.
Be sure to check out the original guidelines for the Catastrophia anthology if you’re thinking of submitting.
Further Catastrophia acceptances
Posted by Paul Raven on January 15th, 2009 at 9:10
Here’s the latest update from Allen Ashley on the Catastrophia anthology:
I have accepted two more stories for Catastrophia.
They are both by US based authors and in the 6000 word region. The stories are: “Nanoamerica” by David John Baker and “Check” by Robert Guffey. That makes five definite acceptances so far plus there are a couple of stories which I am considering for minor rewrites. This means the book is somewhere between one third and half full.
For those writers still polishing their manuscripts: Please do not send any more stories with the following catastrophes – asteroids / meteors; people disappearing in unexplained circumstances; inexplicable barriers around famous cities. These are all fine themes but I have a surfeit of them at present.
Still leaves plenty of scope for dramatic disaster, doesn’t it? Be sure to check out the original guidelines for the Catastrophia anthology if you’re thinking of submitting.
Another acceptance for Catastrophia
Posted by Paul Raven on November 10th, 2008 at 9:40
Editor Allen Ashley has just finished overseeing the publication and launch of his recent Subtle Edens anthology from Elastic Press.
However, he’s not been neglecting his editorial duties with the forthcoming PS Publishing anthology Catastrophia; here’s his latest update:
“I am pleased to announce that I have just accepted another story for Catastrophia. This story is called “The Phoney War” and is about 10,000 words in length. The author is an exciting, younger British writer called Nina Allan who had a collection out from Eibonvale Press a couple of years back and has featured regularly in the BFS magazine Dark Horizons. Nina’s story is the third definite acceptance for the book and I am really pleased to have her on board.
In the meantime, I am still considering a few recently received stories and remain open to submissions. Just one gentle reminder to those of you mailing your stories – please ensure you pay the correct postage as I have had a few letters lately with yellow stickers and fines to pay. If in doubt, it’s best to get it weighed at the post office.”
Wise words there, folks – keep the editor happy! If you fancy submitting a piece of catastrophe fiction to Allen’s anthology, then go ahead – but make sure you refer to the guidelines, eh?
First couple of acceptances for Catastrophia anthology
Posted by Paul Raven on September 30th, 2008 at 8:16
Allen Ashley dropped us a line here at PS Headquarters to let us know he’s already bought two stories for the Catastrophia anthology – and from two very significant writers on the genre landscape, no less! Take it away, Allen:
“I’ve so far accepted two stories for the forthcoming PS Publishing anthology Catastrophia. The stories are by Brian W. Aldiss and Adam Roberts respectively. I’m looking for approximately fifteen stories in total and am still actively seeking submissions as detailed previously. If you have already submitted, be assured that your work is receiving due consideration and that you will hear back from me within three months. Lastly, to answer a query posed by one correspondent – please only send one story at a time. Thanks.”
Have you got a good catastrophe story tucked away in a drawer or hard drive somewhere? Then why not try your luck – but be sure to read the submission details first!

Out Now: ‘The Luminous Depths’ by David Herter, plus PS acquires ‘One Who Disappeared’
Posted by Darren on March 18th, 2008 at 14:59
David Herter‘s new novella – The Luminous Depths, sequel to his 2006 PS debut On the Overgrown Path is now available and shipping to pre-order customers in two editions:
- Hardcover, £10.00 ($20.00 approx.)
- Signed, Jacketed Hardcover, £25.00 ($50.00 approx.)
The novella features as one of its main characters the Czech writer and 1936 Nobel Prize Nominee Karel Čapek. In a recent blog post, David has compiled a sampling of Čapek’s work, and he also presents extracts from the selected pieces in further posts.
We’re also delighted to announce that PS Publishing has acquired the final book in this superb trilogy. One Who Disappeared will be a novel rather than a novella and will be published in 2010. Full details will be added to the catalogue in due course.
PS Publishing acquires new steampunk novella ‘The Baby Killers’ by Jay Lake
Posted by Darren on March 18th, 2008 at 14:25
PS Publishing is delighted to announce our first acquisition of 2008: The Baby Killers by US author Jay Lake, a brand new novella that we’ve scheduled for publication in 2010.
PS commissioning editor Nick Gevers said of the book: “With The Baby Killers, Jay Lake puts the ‘punk’ back in steampunk (never fear, there’s quite a bit of steam as well…)
“Written in a style which recalls the Victoriana-that-never-was spirit of the steampunk movement, this novella offers a wild ride through the streets of Philadelphia in 1907, when that city serves as the seat of the British Dominion of the Americas.
“Villains and heroes, for the most part indistinguishable from one another, battle over a restaging of the Fall of Innocence. The strangest parts of this story are straight from the history books – only Lake could combine Doukhobors and Le Pétomane, fartiste extraordinaire of the French stage, into one raging, rampaging explosion of technology, morality and clanking good fun.”
We’ll be adding details to the catalogue in due course.
Announcing a brand new Ramsey Campbell novel: ‘Thieving Fear’
Posted by Darren on October 27th, 2007 at 8:28
PS Publishing is proud and pleased to announce that we will be publishing limited slipcased (£50 / $100 approx.) and signed hardcover (£20 / $40 approx.) editions of the brand new Ramsey Campbell novel Thieving Fear in Spring 2008.
We had hoped to include this title as part of our Major Schedule Update back in September, but were still finalising one or two details at the time. We will also be announcing the introducer and cover artist in the near future.
Thieving Fear can be pre-ordered right away, and pages for each edition have been added to the PS catalogue, as follows:
- Thieving Fear by Ramsey Campbell, Limited Slipcased edition
- Thieving Fear by Ramsey Campbell, signed Hardcover edition
Novella Acquisition: ‘The Fiery Angels’ by David Herter
Posted by Darren on September 4th, 2007 at 13:10

Entitled The Fiery Angels, it’s a stand-alone story, unrelated to his currently ongoing sequence of novellas which starts with On the Overgrown Path and will continue with a sequel, The Luminous Depths, which we’ll be adding to our forthcoming titles page in the near future and plan to publish towards the end of the year.
The Fiery Angels us currently slated for publication in the summer of 2009; full details will be posted to the main website in due course.
