JEFF VANDERMEER'S WEIRD FICTION BUNDLE

Welcome to Jeff VanderMeer's Weird Fiction Bundle, specially curated by the World Fantasy Award-winning writer (the Southern Reach Trilogy) — where a host of award-winning and nominated international literary fantasy books from Jeff's own Cheeky Frawg ebook imprint rub shoulders with highlights from Jeff's own back catalog!

The range of titles on display here is staggering — from Karin Tidbeck's rapturously received 'otherworldly' short story collection Jagannath, of which the legendary Ursula LeGuin says: "These are wonderful stories”, through two major books from International Horror Guild Award-winning author Michael Cisco.

Also in this very special collection are the hilarious The Kosher Guide To Imaginary Animals by Jeff VanderMeer and his Hugo Award-winning wife Ann, plus the "scenes of startling beauty and strangeness" (Locus) in Tainaron: Mail From Another City by Leena Krohn — yet another international standout and World Fantasy Award nominee.

Thanks to Jeff's love of weird and different fantasy fiction, you get everything from Finnish fantasy compilations (It Came From The North) to delicate short fiction that's an "exquisite and overlooked treasure", according to Jeff (The Honey Month), all capped off with an entire book of VanderMeer's short stories, The Third Bear, which has been praised by everyone from Mike Mignola (Hellboy) to Pulitzer Prize-winning author Junot Diaz. It's an amazing line-up — one that we're delighted to host here on StoryBundle.

The initial titles in the bundle (minimum $3 to purchase) are:

  • The Kosher Guide to Imaginary Animals by Ann & Jeff VanderMeer
  • The Traitor by Michael Cisco
  • Tainaron by Leena Krohn
  • The Honey Month by Amal El-Mohtar
  • It Came From the North by Desirina Boskovitch

If you pay more than the bonus price of just $12, you'll get another three books:

  • Jagannath by Karin Tidbeck
  • The Tyrant by Michael Cisco
  • The Third Bear by Jeff VanderMeer

The bundle is available for a very limited time only, via http://www.storybundle.com. It allows easy reading on computers, smartphones, and tablets as well as Kindle and other ereaders via file transfer, email, and other methods. You get multiple DRM-free formats (.epub, and .mobi) for all books, but after the three weeks are over, the bundle is gone forever!

It's also super easy to give the gift of reading with StoryBundle, thanks to our gift cards – which allow you to send someone a code that they can redeem for any future StoryBundle bundle – and timed delivery, which allows you to control exactly when your recipient will get the gift of StoryBundle.
