Ask me how much I love weird fiction. Go ahead, ask. The answer is, it’s one of my favorite fiction genres. Bring on the weird, and color me there. So when I got the chance to curate a bundle of weird fiction ebooks for StoryBundle, I leaped at it! The result is THE MANY WORLDS OF WEIRD FICTION, a collection of ebooks that are weird, weird, weird…just the way I like ’em. As the title suggests, this bundle tackles all kinds of weird sub-genres, from weird horror to weird scifi to weird fantasy to weird pulp and weird humor. As an aficionado of weird fiction, I’m so darn proud of this one, I could bust. You can find it right here for a limited time.
This great set includes eleven books by ten awesome authors who will take your head for a spin, believe you me. Let Samuel R. Delany, a living literary legend by any definition, guide you through the universe of weird science fiction. Joe R. Lansdale, whose books spawned the Hap and Leonard TV series, will give you a crash course on weird Western tales and weird pulp fiction. Ramsey Campbell, impresario extraordinaire of dark fiction, will throw you headfirst into the realm of weird horror. Experience surreal weird fiction with Michael Cisco, Ray Vukcevich, and yours truly, Robert Jeschonek, retro weird scifi with Jeffrey Thomas, and classic, Gothic weird with the incredible Elizabeth Hand.
By the time you’re done with the tour, you will have a deeper understanding of weird fiction’s many outposts and byways…and perhaps you’ll have a greater desire to explore that intricate universe more thoroughly.
Just remember, feeling off-balance and worried when traveling these weird worlds isn’t unusual. Experiencing the unexpected and losing your grasp of reality are not uncommon.
Let’s face it, that’s pretty much how things are in the reality we call home, as well.
