They’re coming…

We know, lots of books that were scheduled to be released last year are late. We’re read your e-mails, and yeah, we’re kind of bummed about it too. The good news is that they’re still coming. Really! We’ve spent the last few weeks figuring out the fastest way to get all these books (right along with this year’s crop) to press, and now we’ve finally got a “meet it, and hopefully beat it” 2009 release schedule to share with you.
Laird Barron’s The Imago Sequence will be released in trade paperback March 15. Glen Cook’s An Empire Unacquainted with Defeat is coming in hardcover (and a signed limited edition) March 20, along with Liz Williams’s Precious Dragon in mass market paperback. The brand-new Detective Inspector Chen novel, Liz Williams’s The Shadow Pavilion (hardcover and signed limited edition) will be released March 30. Also coming March 30 are Seamus Cooper’s The Mall of Cthulhu, Tim Lebbon’s post-apocalyptic beer run, Bar None, editor Jonathan Strahan’s The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year, Volume 3, and The Collected Fiction of William Hope Hodgson, Volume 5: The Dream of X and Other Fantastic Visions. April 5 is bringing Nathalie Mallet’s The King’s Daughters, Elizabeth Moon’s Moon Flights, and Mark Teppo’s stunning occult thriller, Lightbreaker, all in mass market paperback. April 15 isn’t just bringing the tax man, but a ton of Night Shade titles. We’ve got S. M. Stirling’s Ice, Iron and Gold, Neal Asher’s Prador Moon, and two Glen Cook titles, Passage at Arms and The Dragon Never Sleeps, all coming in mass market paperback, along with hardcovers of The Collected Fantasies of Clark Ashton Smith, Volume 4: The Maze of the Enchanter, Graham Joyce’s How to Make Friends with Demons, John Langan’s debut novel, House of Windows, and Steven Erikson’s The Lees of Laughter’s End (which is also being released in a signed limited edition), and trade paperbacks of Jay Lake’s Madness of Flowers and Glen Cook’s The Swordbearer. Matthew Hughes’ Hespira: A Tale of Henghis Hapthorn is coming in regular and limited edition hardcover on April 20. David Drake’s Balefires hits mass market paperback April 25. And Stephen Baxter’s The H-Bomb Girl is coming in hardcover June 30. At this moment, we’re still trying to nail down exact release dates for the reprint of The Collected Fiction of William Hope Hodgson, Volume 2: The House on the Borderland and Other Mysterious Places and the limited edition of China Miéville’s ground-breaking Perdido Street Station, but just as soon as we’ve got news on those two, we’ll be posting it right here at Night Shade Books.
