A-Hunting We Will Go...

Wednesday, March 23, 2011

I think we can all agree that Kieran Yanner is an amazing artist. And with this image, used as the cover for the latest Planet Stories volume, Hunt the Space-Witch! by Robert Silverberg, he's hit one out of the park. This cover screams pulp sci-fi and it proudly sits on my desktop as my wallpaper for this week. And now you too can adorn your sci-fi device of choice with Kieran's latest masterpiece.

Hunt the Space-Witch!

Wednesday, March 16, 2011

With Manly Wade Wellman's Battle in the Dawn: The Complete Hok the Mighty now shipping from the Paizo warehouse, I'm happy to announce we've just wrapped up production on our next volume in the Planet Stories library, Robert Silverberg's Hunt the Space-Witch! Seven Adventures in Time and Space. A collection of Silverberg's early science fiction, Hunt the Space-Witch! features seven novellas by one of the genres most important voices, all written in the adventurous style of the original Planet Stories pulp magazine.

We have some other exciting Silverberg projects lined up in the future—including a just-announced omnibus collection titled The Planet Killers—so when we went looking for a cover, we decided we wanted to give a similar stylistic look to the books, one that conveyed the sort of retro-future of Silverberg's wonder-filled, pulp-era-inspired stories. So behold, Kieran Yanner's striking cover illustration for the first volume!

Robert Silverberg's Hunt the Space-Witch! ships in June.
