Had hoped to announce this Halloween treat sooner — but there was a shipping delay. In any case, our new edition of THE BONE KEY: THE NECROMANTIC MYSTERIES OF KYLE MURCHISON BOOTH by Sarah Monette is finally available in stores and online…but…I’m not putting it in the left column or saying you can buy it from us…because you can’t. We aren’t home. Well, Sean is not home and he fulfills the orders. He’s en route to the World Fantasy Convention. (We will have it for sale there.)
But bookstores have it and BN.com and Amazon have it!
Who is Kyle Murchison Booth? Possibly one of the unlikeliest of characters to gain a cult following, yet he has. Eccentric, socially awkward Booth is an introverted museum archivist, descended from a most unusual family, who frequently finds himself in the midst of most unsettling supernatural experiences and involved in strange necromantic mysteries. A gentleman and a scholar, this unwilling hero persevered through THE BONE KEY, a series of interconnected short stories, to win readers’ hearts (and possibly their souls).
This new edition—with a “puzzle” cover (by Timothy Lantz) and a new introduction by Lynne M. Thomas (one of Booth’s “successors” at the Samuel Mather Parrington Museum)—will please current fans and allow even more to discover its dark charms.
More when things get back to the mundane…
