All the news that’s fit to capsulize!
BEST BEFORE …
St. Martin’s is giving away six autographed copies of Duane Swierczynski’s new novel, the time-travel murder-mystery EXPIRATION DATE, plus original illustrations featured in the book by comics artist Laurence Campbell. Enter now at Minotaur Books through April 17. While you’re there, read the first 50 pages, which will be serialized weekly.
OX-TUALLY
Nearly 40 authors have contributed to a unique, four-volume anthology series to combat poverty. Each OX-TALES volume — subtitled with the elements FIRE, WATER, AIR and EARTH — contains at least nine new stories or excerpts, with all royalties donated to the Oxfam organization. Among the contributors are Ian Rankin, Mark Haddon, Alexander McCall Smith, Kate Atkinson, John le Carré and Zoe Heller. All four books come out in April, at $9.95 each.
‘DEAD’ AND ‘LOVING’ IT
Starting today, Night Shade Books begins serializing Amelia Beamer’s THE LOVING DEAD, pegged as “a zombie-comedy-romance that reads like the zombie love-child of Chuck Palahniuk and Christopher Moore.” A chapter a week will be posted, culminating in the book’s July release. —Rod Lott
