It's alive! CLOCKWORK UNIVERSE STEAMPUNK vs ALIENS

CLOCKWORK UNIVERSE STEAMPUNK vs ALIENS is the first anthology being launched by Zombies Need Brains LLC, a small press founded by friend and frequent partner in crime Joshua Palmatier.

We've been talking about this project for months, so I'm thrilled to finally be able to share this with you. This is going to be an awesome anthology featuring an incredibly talented lineup of authors.

Visit the kickstarter webpage to find out more about the project, and how you can become a backer. As a special bonus for supporters we have a limited number of Tuckerizations available, and we expect these to sell out fast.

CLOCKWORK UNIVERSE: STEAMPUNK vs. ALIENS. When aliens reach Earth, they encounter the clockwork mechanisms and Victorian sensibilities of a full-blown steampunk civilization. Inspired by the classic science fiction adventure tales of the nineteenth century, leading fantasy and science fiction authors will bring us tales of first contact with a twist, as steam power meets laser cannons . . . and dirigibles face off against flying saucers. Edited by Patricia Bray and Joshua Palmatier, it will contain approximately 14 stories with an average length of 6000 words each. The anthology will include short stories by: Bradley Beaulieu, Caitlin Kittredge, Gini Koch, Scott Lynch, Gail Z. Martin, Seanan McGuire, and Ian Tregillis, and others.
