Terry Bisson’s Billy’s Book, as illustrated by the Mad Professor
Posted by Paul Raven on July 20th, 2010 at 10:37
Awesome things can happen when oddball science fiction writers get together. Terry Bisson and Rudy Rucker have been friends for years, and when Rucker read Bisson’s Billy’s Book, he decided it was ripe for illustration… so, enter Billy’s Picture Book, a free ebook version of the Bisson collection rounded out with the madcap technicolour surrealism of Rucker’s paintings. Lots of fun for young readers… as well as the young at heart.
Physical copies of our original limited edition binding of Billy’s Book are still available, by the way – click here to order one.

Cover art for Terry Bisson’s Planet of Mystery
Posted by Paul Raven on November 25th, 2008 at 8:35
Here’s the cover art for the forthcoming Planet of Mystery by Terry Bisson. Once again, Tomislav Tikulin is the man to thank for the painting:
Planet of Mystery is an instant Bisson classic that takes place on the border between appearance and reality. Here’s the jacket blurb:
Marooned on Venus, Hall and Chang of the first Chinese-American expedition are surprised to find themselves breathing Earth-normal air; and alarmed to find themselves captured by beautiful amazons mounted on foul-smelling centaurs.
“None of this can be real!” Hall protests, as he is dragged off to meet the Amazon Queen. Chang is inclined to agree (even though the arrow in his shoulder feels genuine).
Then the robot rolls in…
Pulp tropes and big ideas – a great combination! Planet of Mystery is out next year, but you can get your pre-orders in now to beat the rush:
- Planet of Mystery (hardcover) – [ £10 / $15 approx. ]
- Planet of Mystery (jacketed hardcover) – [ £10 / $15 approx. ]
Living with the Dead cover art
Posted by Paul Raven on November 2nd, 2008 at 14:07
Just to sustain the Halloween vibe a little longer (it’s still the weekend, after all), here’s the completed jacket art for Darrell Schweitzer‘s forthcoming novella, Living With the Dead:
Here’s the synopsis copy to tempt you:
The dead come from the sea, at night. They merely arrive and are discovered in the morning on the wharves, lying in great heaps. It has been the immemorial custom for people to take them into their homes, to find places for them, to pattern their increasingly cluttered lives around the growing accumulation of corpses. No one knows why, although it is the irresistible decree of the Unseen Government that the order of things must be preserved, at all costs. Old and young must participate, and carry away the dead, on bicycles, in carts, on their backs if need be. It has always been so. It always will be so.
This isn’t Hell, or an Afterlife, just a place, a fog-shrouded, tradition-stifled town without a name, where the dead are accommodated at the expense of the living, where the established way of life has become a grotesque absurdity, and a few brave or foolish or deviant souls struggle to find some meaning, and perhaps unravel the mystery of the dead.
Though arguably best known for his prodigious output of critical writing in the manifold fields of genre, Schweitzer’s fiction has always received great acclaim, and we’re confident that Living With the Dead will sustain that tradition. So click through below to order yourself what is being described as “an improbable collaboration between Franz Kafka and Clive Barker”…

Cover art for The Enigma Of Departure by Nicholas Royle
Posted by Paul Raven on September 2nd, 2008 at 9:00
More cover art goodness for you, this time in the form of Nicholas Royle‘s imminent PS Publishing novella, The Enigma Of Departure. Barry Burman is the man behind the suitably enigmatic image:
Here’s a teaser from the jacket copy:
“I followed Henry James’s advice and approached Venice from the sea, taking the Alilaguna boat from Marco Polo Airport to the Piazza San Marco. There were quicker ways to get to the hotel, but I was travelling light and preferred to walk. I wanted to feel in control again, having had to surrender that privilege on the flight. As I walked, though, I soon remembered that Venice is a city that constantly surprises you. Once you leave the main routes, the map is almost impossible to follow and you have to trust to instinct and your sense of direction, both of which are compromised the moment you cross a bridge and start following the line of the canal. WC Fields was right about water. It is not to be trusted.
“Disoriented, you hunt for clues in the city’s myriad smells – salt, fish, damp, frying onions, rotting algae – but each one is a false scent. Your head spins at every sudden new sound, but the acoustics are a cacophony of random deceptions. The Rite of Spring reinterpreted by Steve Reich.
“Control, in Venice, was an illusion. It was the ideal location, I realised, for one of Mike Nelson’s architectural installations, in which nothing was what it seemed and everything was in question.”
Sounds good – I like books that introduce me to real places that I’ve never visited, and Venice has always intrigued me with its long and colourful history. I’m looking forward to this one! You can get your name down for one of the first copies by clicking through below to make a pre-order:
- The Enigma Of Departure (jacketed hardcover) – £25.00 ($50.00 approx.)

Cover art for Steven Erikson’s Revolvo
Posted by Paul Raven on August 25th, 2008 at 13:05
So, let’s start the week with some more cover pr0n. PS Publishing has a new novella in the pipeline from Steven Erikson, titled Revolvo. Here’s what you’ll see on the front of the finished book, based on artwork by Ben Baldwin:
And here’s the blurb for Revolvo, which sounds like it will be a wry read:
In the fictitious country of Canada the arts scene is ruled by technocrats, who thrive in a secret, nepotistic society of granting agencies, bursaries, awards and peer review boards, all designed to permit self-proclaimed artists to survive without an audience.
In Revolvo, self-proclaimed “hack genre writer” Steven Erikson provides a daring expose of creative skulduggery in the wilds of a country suffering an interminable identity crisis. The names of plenty of real people have been changed and all specific details of the setting have been messed with, so if anyone guesses a certain prairie city in the middle of Canada where the author used to live, well, you’d be plain wrong.
Besides, it was a long time ago and his memory isn’t so good.
Intriguing – and a definite change from Erikson’s usual output, which should make for an interesting contrast. Steve is an incredibly popular author, and his PS Publishing titles don’t hang about in the warehouse for long… so, with that in mind, click through below to make a pre-order if you want to be certain of completing your collection:
- Revolvo (jacketed hardcover) – £25.00 ($50.00 approx.)
- Revolvo (hardcover) - £10.00 ($20.00 approx.)
More Bradbury cover art – The Day It Rained Forever
Posted by Paul Raven on August 15th, 2008 at 7:49
Following on from Mark Chadbourne’s lusting for Dandelion Wine, here’s some more cover art from forthcoming PS Publishing special editions of Ray Bradbury classics.
First of all, the beautifully arid landscape that will adorn the jacket of The Day It Rained Forever:
And next, the excitingly abstract cover of Medicine For Melancholy, which is the extra volume that comes with the deluxe edition of the above:
Quite a contrasting pair, wouldn’t you say? I particularly like the desert landscape – I’d quite like a copy of it to hang on my kitchen wall. What that says about my psychological state is anyone’s guess…
In case you’re wondering why we’re bundling these two books together in the deluxe edition, here’s Pete Crowther to explain:
“… Medicine and Rained were essentially the same book re-titled for the split between UK and US audiences … but with four stories different in each title (ie. there are four in Rained that are not in Medicine and four in Medicine that are not in Rained). This 100-copy special two-book set will be signed by Ray Bradbury and Caitlin Kiernan, who has written the Introduction.”
Ideal for the completist collector, then! Only one hundred copies of the deluxe two-volume edition will be released near to the end of the year, and it’ll cost you £250 [$500 approx.] to place a pre-order and ensure you get one of them. If you’re of more modest means, you can click through below to snare a single-volume version of The Day It Rained Forever:
- The Day It Rained Forever – hardcover [£20 / $40 approx; 500 copies only]
- The Day It Rained Forever – slipcased hardcover [£50 / $100 approx; 200 copies only]
Cover art for James Barclay’s Vault of Deeds
Posted by Paul Raven on August 12th, 2008 at 8:12
You lucky people – I have more cover art pr0n for you! This dramatic landscape will be adorning the front of Vault Of Deeds, the forthcoming James Barclay novella from PS Publishing:
Here’s the jacket pitch for Vault Of Deeds to whet your appetite:
The status quo is being upset so much it feels distinctly queasy. You see, in the land of Goedterre, good always triumphs over evil. Or that’s how it should be. But something is wrong.
Across the land, invincible heroes are meeting their dooms at the hands of opponents who have clearly practiced beforehand. It simply will not do. Too many books are closing for good in the Vault of Deeds. Too many scribes are looking for new heroes. The spectre of invasion raises an ugly head on which altogether too much expectancy is plastered.
Naturally, people want to know what’s going on and eyes inevitably turn to the school that produces Goedterre’s heroes. After all, without heroes, how on earth can you possibly defeat the forces of evil?
Curiously, Principal Kettifer seems delighted with how his academy is running but Grincheux the Scribe is not. Something smells bad. Really bad. Worse than the latest hero eau de toilette, that’s how bad. Student heroes are nervous and their scribes are watching the lifeblood flow from their once very lucrative careers. Literally.
Grincheux, with his gangly student hero in tow, decides to investigate and in a way, he is right and courageous to take that decision. In every other way, but principally the ones involving mortal danger and loss of bowel control, it is a very stupid decision indeed.
There’s a certain hint of Pratchett there, wouldn’t you say? I think I may have to make space in my reading schedule for this one when it rolls off the presses at the end of the year next month…
If you’d like to be among the first to get their sweaty mitts on this exclusive James Barclay novella, click through below to place a pre-order:
- Vault Of Deeds – hardcover [£10 / $20 approx; 500 copies only]
- Vault Of Deeds – jacketed hardcover [£25 / $50 approx; 300 copies only]
Cover art for PS Showcase #4 – Glyphotech by Mark Samuels
Posted by Paul Raven on August 11th, 2008 at 9:44
Hardly have we started shipping our third PS Showcase volume than we start finalising the next in the series! Just arrived in my inbox is the, er, in-your-face artwork by Jason Van Hollander for Mark Samuels‘s collection, Glyphotech:
Now there’s a man who looks just like I feel on a Monday morning! Here’s the short-but-sweet jacket blurb:
In the introduction to this collection Ramsey Campbell states that the two modern masters of urban weirdness are Thomas Ligotti and Mark Samuels. Inside this book you will find weird things indeed, not least the likes of:
- The fungus-riddled mannequin in the lunatic asylum
- The reconstruction company that works with life and death
- The legal nightmare where the sane are guilty
- A horror writing convention taken over by black magic cannibals
- The Punch and Judy show broadcast live after death
- The strange fate of the reincarnation of H.P. Lovecraft
Now, some of those sound pretty tempting… especially the third in that list, the legal nightmare where the sane are guilty. Who else but Mark Samuels would have thought to write a horror story about local government, eh? ;)
If you’re tempted too (and if not, why not?), click through below and secure yourself a pre-ordered copy of Glyphotech:

PS Showcase #3 – cover art for Robert T Jeschonek’s Mad Scientist Meets Cannibal collection
Posted by Paul Raven on June 17th, 2008 at 9:27
Ladies and gentlemen, PS Publishing are proud to present the complete jacket layout (based on Tomislav Tikulin‘s striking artwork) for our third Showcase collection featuring fiction maverick Robert T Jeschonek – Mad Scientist Meets Cannibal.
Pretty, ain’t it? Here’s the jacket blurb to whet your appetite further:
Welcome to the world of Mad Scientist Meets Cannibal. Where else can you come face to face with a giant rhinoporcupine? Dream the future in a jazz tune from Hell? Hunt down outlaws who commit the crime of love? Eat a walking, talking human feast? Find passion behind the lab coat of a smoking hot mad scientist?
Only in Mad Scientist Meets Cannibal.
In these pages, Robert T. Jeschonek will take you on a tour of the wildest places and people you’ve never imagined. You’ve never met anyone quite like Dr. Hildegarde Medici, the mad scientist worshipped from afar by her twisted assistant, Glugor…or the Genebillies of Best Virginia, rip-snortin’ genetic engineers in the moonshiner tradition…or Manny the Ration, an edible man who feeds more than empty stomachs in an alien landscape gone berserk.
If you’re looking for something mind-blowing, you’ve come to the right place. In Mad Scientist Meets Cannibal, gonzo fictioneer Robert T. Jeschonek sets his wild imagination loose in five free-for-alls that set a new standard for storytelling. It’s all about a cutting edge mêlée style, an in-your-face storytelling for the 21st century that mashes up genres, tones, expectations, and the most fundamental rules of stories and language. At the core of this engine of big ideas, startling imagery, and unexpected connections, you’ll always find a pounding heart of love and longing and wonder, its power amplified by the revolutionary matrix roaring around it.
Take your first step into this breakthrough literary mêlée and experience a convergence of science fiction and fantasy…thrills and theories…tears and laughter…truth and lies…insanity and enlightenment. Ask yourself “What if?” and “Why not?” and “What the hell was that?” Most of all, kiss your preconceptions goodbye.
You’re standing at the door to a big new treasure house, waiting for a key. And Robert T. Jeschonek just handed you a stick of dynamite.
What more can we say? To get your hands on a copy of this explosive mixture of genre tropes as soon as it becomes available, click through below to pre-order your copies right away!

Finished cover: The Pilo Family Circus by Will Elliot
Posted by Paul Raven on May 12th, 2008 at 7:12
Another piece of artwork from the PS Publishing intray to brighten your Monday! Or perhaps not – I notice that I’ve subconsciously put this one off for a few days, and I reckon it’s probably more than a little to do with my not-so-latent coulrophobia.
But nonetheless, here’s Chris Roberts‘ eye-catching artwork:
Doubtless it’s that very phobia that Will Elliot plays on in The Pilo Family Circus, which has a plot seemingly tailor-made to creep me out:
“Somewhere just above the searing flames of hell, The Pilo Family Circus is playing at a town near you. This darkest of carnivals has preyed on the souls of its audience for centuries and young Jamie has unfortunately just come the attention of the star turns – the baddest, most psychotic clown troupe you could never hope to meet.
What’s more, they want him to join up … and these are not the kind of folks who take no for an answer.”
That’s nightmare-inducing stuff from where I’m sat. Of course, those of you less petrified by clowns than myself may well be quite tempted by Will Elliot‘s surreal conceit, not to mention Roberts’ artwork – in which case you should click through below and pre-order your copies.
- Slipcased hardcover – £50.00 ($100.00 approx.) 200 copies
- Hardcover – £20.00 ($40.00 approx.) 500 copies
Finished cover: ‘Template’ by Matthew Hughes
Posted by Paul Raven on May 7th, 2008 at 7:13
I guess I got lucky and joined PS Publishing on a particularly good month, because I’ve seen more quality artwork pass through my inbox than I’d ever had expected in such a short space of time. Point in case: Chris Erkmann‘s simple yet striking cover image for Template by Matthew Hughes.
It’s arresting, isn’t it? In which case it matches Robert Sawyer’s opinion of the novel itself:
“Matthew Hughes‘s Template is many things – including a template others should follow to produce outstanding writing. Hughes has been the best-kept secret in SF for far too long: he’s a towering talent, and Template is his best work to date. Bravo!”
- Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of Hominids.
With an introduction by prolific maestro of the short story Jay Lake, what more could you wish for? Click through to pre-order your copy of Template right away in one of two formats:

Finished covers: Return of the Crimson Guard by Ian C. Esslemont
Posted by Paul Raven on May 6th, 2008 at 7:19
We’ve received the final versions of the cover art for the two-volume set of Ian C. Esslemont‘s Return of the Crimson Guard, and I think you’ll agree that Edward Miller has done a spectacular job – read the blurb alongside, and you can see that he has really caught the atmosphere of Esslemont‘s Malazan Empire:
The return of the mercenary company the Crimson Guard could not have come at a worse time for the Malazan Empire; drained by warfare, weakened by betrayal and rivalries, many see the grip of Empress Laseen weakening.
Conquered kingdoms and principalities test their old independence. Into this gathering civil war on Quon Tali – the Empire’s homeland – comes the Guard. And with their return comes the memory of their hundred year old vow: undying opposition to the existence of the Empire.
Yet rivalries and betrayal stalk the Guard as well; for elements of its elite, the Avowed, scheme to open paths to even greater power. Ancient potent entities, Ascendants, also lend a hand exploiting all sides to further their own arcane ends.
Meanwhile, a swordsman, Traveller, and his companion Ereko, move from one strange encounter to another in a mysterious dance meant ultimately to bring the swordsman to a final confrontation from which none have ever returned.
As the Crimson Guard gathers itself from around the globe, Empress Laseen faces more immediate threats.
To feed her wars she has bled dry provincial garrisons across Quon Tali and now regional nationalists see their chance. Behind their insurrections stand the veteran commanders of Laseen’s predecessor, Emperor Kellanved.
These generals and powerful mages, the “Old Hands,” have lost patience with what they see as Laseen’s mismanagement and have selected their own replacement.
Yet there are hints that Laseen may be using the uprisings to draw out and finally eliminate these last irksome survivors of her predecessor’s rule…
Return of the Crimson Guard will be out very soon as a luxurious slipcased two-volume set – click through to the PS Webstore to pre-order your copy.
