Contest: CARNIEPUNK Signed by 8 Authors

Antho-CarniepunkWhile I was at RT this month, I was able to snag a couple of the fabulous anthology Carniepunk, which featuring stories by Rachel Caine, Jennifer Estep, Kevin Hearne, Seanan McGuire, Rob Thurman, Delilah S. Dawson, Kelly Gay, Mark Henry, Hillary Jacques, Jackie Kessler, Kelly Meding, Allison Pang, Nicole D. Peeler, and Jaye Wells. Even better, I was able to track down eight of the authors – Rachel Caine, Delilah S. Dawson, Jennifer Estep, Kevin Hearne, Mark Henry, Jackie Kessler, Nicole D. Peeler, and Jaye Wells – to sign it and it could be yours.

A star-studded urban fantasy anthology, whose stories explore the creepy, mysterious, and, yes, sometimes magical world of traveling carnivals.

The traveling carnival is a leftover of a bygone era, a curiosity lurking on the outskirts of town. It is a place of contradictions—the bright lights mask the peeling paint; a carnie in greasy overalls slinks away from the direction of the Barker’s seductive call. It is a place of illusion—is that woman’s beard real? How can she live locked in that watery box?

And while many are tricked by sleight of hand, there are hints of something truly magical going on. One must remain alert and learn quickly the unwritten rules of this dark show. To beat the carnival, one had better have either a whole lot of luck or a whole lot of guns—or maybe some magic of one’s own.

Featuring stories grotesque and comical, outrageous and action-packed, Carniepunk is the first anthology to channel the energy and attitude of urban fantasy into the bizarre world of creaking machinery, twisted myths, and vivid new magic.

JEstep-Parlor TricksIf you’re looking for a quick peak at the awesomeness that is contained within Carniepunk (I love anthologies!), you can pick up Jennifer Estep’s novella, Parlor Tricks as a free eRead for KindleNook and all the other e-retailers (I believe).

Come one! Come all! Witness Gin Blanco—aka the Elemental Assassin, aka the Spider—go toe to toe against Esmerelda the Amazing’s Wheel of Death and some dangerously creepy clowns! Only at The Carnival of Wondrous Wonders!

Even better, Kevin Hearne’s story The Demon Barker of Wheat Street (October 27th) and Seanan McGuire novella Daughter of the Midway, the Mermaid, and the Open, Lonely Sea (December 15th) will be available for $.99.

About Jackie 3282 Articles
I am a 30-something SAHM with two adorable boys and a supportive husband who is very tolerant of my reading addiction. I love to read and easily go through about a dozen books a month – well I did before I had kids. Now, not so much. After my first son was born, I began to take my hobby of reviewing a little more serious and started Literary Escapism to help with my sanity. I love to discuss the fabulous novels I’ve read and meeting all the wonderful people in the book blogging community has been amazing.
