For just the month of August, when you buy a copy of the signed, limited-edition hardcover of my collection Chimeric Machines direct from CGP, you'll get a free hardcover copy of the signed, limited-edition, award-winning anthology Five Strokes To Midnight, which features authors like Christopher Golden, Tom Piccirilli, Gary A. Braunbeck and Deborah LeBlanc. The book was nominated for a World Fantasy Award and won two Stoker Awards. The first was for best overall anthology, and the second (best long fiction) was for Gary's novella Afterward, There Will Be A Hallway.

So, if you've been thinking to yourself, "Self, I've wanted to get Gary and Lucy's best work, but just haven't had the chance to do it in one fell swoop", well, now's your chance :)

"(This) may be the best collection of poetry I've read in years ... There is not one poem in Chimeric Machines that doesn't fit in place like a delicately carved piece of a complex and consuming puzzle. ... There is no other writer working today quite like Lucy A. Snyder." (read more)

"Snyder is a massively talented writer -- the sort who knows how to make you take a gulp when you hit the ending of a story or poem -- and this poetry collection made me gulp with awe on virtually every page. ... With an introduction by Tom Piccirilli and collaborative contributions from Gary Braunbeck, many horror readers would enjoy the experience of this collection. This is not horror poetry, always, but it is something bigger, something simpler: just great poetry. Snyder's Chimeric Machines deserves to win a literary award." (read more)

More to the point (and to address the economics of this deal), you're getting $80 worth of collectible hardbacks for $34 if you're in the U.S., a bit more if you're overseas. This offer is good through the end of the month or until Chimeric Machines sells out (only 20 copies are still available as of this post).
