The VanderMeer Winter Mix Tape Bundle, curated by Ann and Jeff VanderMeer, is an often exclusive selection of ten wonderful novels and fiction collections by writers from all over the world. It's a tremendous collection of fiction that's the perfect way to load up on your favorite ebook device for the holidays.
What do we mean by exclusive? Titles like the original anthology Bestiary, with new fiction from China Miéville, Catherynne M. Valente, and many others can't be bought in e-book form anywhere else. Anna Tambour's World Fantasy Award-finalist novel Crandolin isn't available in e-book form elsewhere, either. Nor can you read German writer Eugen Egner's screwball fantasy The Eisenberg Constant anywhere but through this Storybundle. Not to mention the just-released career-defining two-part behemoth that is Leena Krohn: Collected Fiction, Spanish Steampunk, feminist space adventure, and much more.
Just click on each book to see reviews, a preview and also a personalized message from our curators!

"I don't think that you can really review an Anna Tambour book, you can merely sort of hang on for the ride and hope that your literary senses are still intact when you're done ... Yup, CRANDOLIN is essentially a cookery book. A cookery book of cosmic proportions ... CRANDOLIN is fabulation at its most exciting ... Anna Tambour is a rogue punk-prophetess whose writings not only stray from the beaten path; some of them are so far out there that you can hear the distant drums of strange story-tribes being awakened by her prose."
– I. O'Reilly, Review, British Fantasy SocietyThe Eisenberg Constant by Eugen Egner
"Think Kafka, think Spike Milligan, think Monty Python. But don't think you have encountered anything like this before."
– The Times, LondonLeena Krohn's Collected Fiction Part 1: The Novels by Leena Krohn
"An extraordinary writer who deserves to be better known to readers in English—which, thanks to this excellent collection, is now possible. Reminiscent of Calvino, Borges, and Lem."
– STARRED REVIEW, KirkusLeena Krohn's Collected Fiction Part 2: Stories and Appreciations by Leena Krohn
"One of the most important books published in the U.S. this year. [Leena Krohn's Collected Fiction] is as important a publishing event in its own way as New Directions' release...of Clarice Lispector'sComplete Stories." –The Mumpsimus
– The MumpsimusThe Best of Spanish Steampunk by James and Marian Womack
"If you're looking for many hundreds of pages of steampunk that mix the tropes we know and love with settings and histories you might not have encountered before, Best of Spanish Steampunk is definitely worth a look."
– Steampunk MagazineThe Other Half of the Sky by Athena Andreadis and Kay Holt
Every entry here, bar none, engaged me emotionally, entertained me and made me think. If there's a theme, maybe it's in a refreshing approach to the SF short story that's about opening doors, and not closing them.
– Gwyneth Jones, author of the Aleutian trilogy and the Bold as Love cycle, winner of the World Fantasy, Tiptree, Clarke and Dick awardsNot Dark Yet by Berit Ellingsen
"Suspenseful and haunting...Ellingsen projects a feeling of encroaching darkness on every page, and this tension guides the narrative like a purposeful current. Expansive and unsettling descriptions make it easy to fall under the story's spell. This is a remarkable novel from a very talented author."
– Publishers Weekly (starred)The Narrator by Michael Cisco
"Michael Cisco is of a different kind and league from almost anyone writing today, and The Narrator is Cisco at his startling best."

Zero DRM. There's no DRM on any of our books. None. Why? For one, we don't believe DRM actually stops people from sharing what they want to share. Second, and most importantly, we don't believe we should be treating our customers as criminals. So go ahead and put these on your tablets, Kindles and smartphones, but if a friend wants to read the bundle, please have them buy one for themselves. With pay-what-you-want, we believe there's a price for everyone. Or better yet, buy one for them as a gift. Help support indie authors!
Support nonprofits. Best of all, you can also give a portion of the proceeds from each bundle to charity. To learn more about these charities and those they help, click the "Learn More" link next the charities when you purchase.
