Weird Fiction StoryBundle: Two Weeks to Go!

StoryBundle has given me the exciting opportunity to curate a “weird fiction” bundle based on some of our Cheeky Frawg offerings, with my last story collection, blurbed by Junot Diaz, thrown in. You can pick up e-book versions of amazing work by iconic Finnish writer Leena Krohn and sample some of the best current weird Finnish fiction in the anthology It Came From the North, edited by Desirina Boskovich.You can also read two classic weird novels from the American Kafka, Michael Cisco—as well as Karin Tidbeck’s amazing collection Jagannath, which won the Crawford Award and was a finalist for the World Fantasy Award. Also on offer: the humor book The Kosher Guide to Imaginary Animals, written by me and my wife, Ann. Last but not least, read the wonderful The Honey Month by Amal El-Mohtar, a beautifully written book.How does it work? The details are on the StoryBundle site, but here’s what it means in practical terms: Whatever percentage of the amount you pay is allocated to the writers goes to us here at Cheeky Frawg Books. We take our cut and the rest goes to the writers. In all but one case, these books have already earned out, so the authors get a very nice chunk of change out of this special deal—and we’ll be giving that money to the authors right after the end of the StoryBundle. (Our contracts are very generous on e-book rights, much more than the industry standard, so…)In addition, the monies Cheeky Frawg retains will go toward future translation projects and our operating costs. We’re planning such delights as a huge 900-page omnibus of Leena Krohn’s work, which is not an insignificant undertaking. StoryBundle’s contribution to these efforts cannot be undersold, frankly.So, thanks for considering buying this weird fiction bundle—it’ll directly benefit authors and help us, too.
