Win a Stealer of Souls

RevolutionSF is giving away three (3) autographed copies of Elric: Stealer of Souls. You can pry a copy of your very own from our steely grasp. Here's how you do so.

Send your name and your address to RevolutionSF's webmaster. And then you're done.

We will select three names from that batch, and then you will have the classic heroic fantasy delivered right to your house. You don't even have to talk to another human. (Elric would prefer it that way.)

Visit RevolutionSF for more details.

This collection reprints the ORIGINAL Elric stories as they first appeared (sans later edits and modifications) in the order in which they were published. The book also offers several interesting Elric tidbits such as magazine covers to some of the first appearances, an early map of Melnibone, the first lengthy review of Stormbringer, and a bunch more.

As if that weren't enough, the collection is lavishly illustrated by World Fantasy Award winning artist John Picacio (cover artist to Geek Confidential. Perhaps not his best known work, but I had to get a plug in somewhere).

If you'd rather not take your chances at RevolutionSF, Moorcock and Picacio will be signing Elric: Stealer of Souls at Austin Books (in Austin, TX *natch*) on Saturday, February 23, 4-7 PM.

Gilded Lili Book Trailer Winner

Author Kelly DiNardo hosted a book trailer contest for her book Gilded Lili: Lili St. Cyr and the Striptease Mystique. The winning entry:



Here's a little sneak of my forthcoming Austin Chronicle review of the book:

The most popular burlesque star throughout the 1940s and 50s, St. Cyr influenced Marilyn Monroe, performed with Dean Martin, and danced well into her fifties. Author Kelly DiNardo recounts the fascinating life of “the queen of striptease” in the well-researched and superbly written Gilded Lili: Lili St. Cyr and the Striptease Mystique.
