Some more good news. We've sent the file for the main volume of THE BEST OF LUCIUS SHEPARD, VOLUME TWO, off to be designed.
We have an artist in mind, who we plan to approach when he finishes another project later this month, or early next.
We're getting file ready for the bonus volume. Its provisional title is YOUTHFUL FOLLY AND OTHER LOST STORIES, and it weighs in at 140k words.
Given the length, we'e consulted with Lucius' agent and son, and decided the bonus volume will be a hardcover. Some of you may remember that the bonus volume for what turned out to be the first volume of THE BEST OF LUCIUS SHEPARD was a trade paperback.
Traduction rapide: le volume proprement dit est à la fabrication. Un illustrateur a été choisi mais pas encore contacté. Le volume bonus fera 140 000 mots. Vu sa taille, et en accord avec les ayants droit de Shepard, ce sera donc un livre relié et non broché, contrairement au volume bonus du tome 1.
Aucune idée du sommaire pour le moment. Je guette.
Sinon, Locus donne le 1e juin 2021 comme date de sortie.
