No Sharks in the Med and Other Stories by Brian Lumley up for Pre-Order

Horror author Brian Lumley (Amazon.com search*) has a new short story collection on the way from Subterranean Press, and the book is now up for pre-order for the hardcore who want a signed edition.

Prior to the first American Publication of Brian Lumley’s ground-breaking, dead waking, best-selling Necroscope ® in 1988—the first novel in a long-lived, much-loved series—this British author had for twenty years been earning an envious reputation writing short stories, novellas, and a series of novels set against H. P. Lovecraft’s cosmic Cthulhu Mythos backdrop. In addition and for a further twenty years Lumley’s non-Mythos Fantasy, SF, and Horror stories have been appearing on a regular basis in some of the world’s most famous publications; for example The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and Weird Tales, along with anthologies such as Karl Edward Wagner’s Year’s Best Horror Stories, Charles L. Grant’s Final Shadows, and Kirby McCauley’s Frights, among others.

The book’s priced at $40 for the signed hardcover ($250 if you want the lettered edition) and is scheduled for release in August. What I find especially cool is that not only is the cover awesome but that there’s also great interior artwork. There aren’t enough illustrated books on the market.
