Ragnarok Books is establishing itself as one of the fresher and more innovative small publishers around. Their previous Kickstarter project, Kaiju Rising, is sitting over there making its way to the top of the TBR stack.
But their latest, Blackguards, has just launched. It’s a massive anthology full of some of the hottest names in fantasy. Subtitled Tales of Assassins, Mercenaries, and Rogues, it is edited by J. M. Martin and looks like a lot of fun.
Here are the contributors: Carol Berg, Richard Lee Byers, David Galglish, James Enge, John Gwynne, Lian Hearn, Snorri Kristjansson, Joseph Lallo, Mark Lawrence, Tim Marquitz, Peter Orullian, Cat Rambo, Laura Resnick, Mark Smylie, Kenny Soward, Shawn Speakman, Jon Sprunk, Anton Strout, Michael J. Sullivan, Django Wexler.
That’s an impressive list. I, for one, can’t wait to get a copy of this book in my hands.
To pledge, or just learn more about the project, go to the Blackguards Kickstarter page.
Not a bad list of contributors at all. Got me excited too.
Isn’t it, though? I’ve not read many of these authors, but the ones I have I’ve been impressed with. Since many of these stories take place in established worlds, I’m figuring this is a good introduction to some new (to me at least) series.
Turns out I’ll be in this one. 🙂
Excellent! Congratulations! I look forward to reading your entry. If I may ask, does your story share any settings with any of your recently published novels? Like say, those published by Angry Robot?
