ODD? Volume One Table of Contents

ODD_01_v06_e03072011We'll be announcing the full roster of a new line-up of e-books under our new Cheeky Frawg imprint very soon. Most of them are reprints only, focusing on my own work to start. However, one project that kind of came to us in a flash of inspiration, launches a new e-book anthology series, featuring new and reprinted stories, along with new translations of favorite stories. ODD? will be out in May, and eventually followed by a POD version that will include most of the material in the e-book version.The plan is to release ODD? twice a year and have it be a showcase for strong, hard-to-define fiction, some of which may be slightly disturbing. Eventually, once it's established, we want to bring it full-on back into the print world with a version that includes strange comics and art---basically an odd culture zine with high production values---while continuing to do the e-book version.The cover is by Jeremy Zerfoss, and may change slightly before publication.Here's the line-up for volume one...ODD?The anthology that poses the question, "Is this odd...or are you too normal?"Amos Tutuola – “The Dead Babies”Gustave Le Rouge – “The War of the Vampires” (new translation by Brian Evenson and David Beus)Jeffrey Ford – “Weiroot”Leopoldo Lugones – “The Bloat Toad” (new translation by Larry Nolen)Mark Samuels – “Apt 205”Michael Cisco – “Modern Cities Exist Only to Be Destroyed” (published only in a limited edition previously)Nalo Hopkinson – “Slow Cold Chick”Sumanth Prabhaker – “A Hard Truth About Waste Management” (revised since publication)Hiromi Goto – “Stinky Girl”Eric Basso – “Logues”Edward Morris – “Lotophagi”Karin Tidbeck – “The Aunts” (previously unpublished)Jeffrey Thomas – “The Fork”Rikki Ducornet – “The Volatilized Ceiling of Baron Munodi”Amanda le Bas de Plumetot – “Unmaking” (previously unpublished)Karl Hans Strobl – “The Head” (new translation by Gio Clairval)Caitlin R.
