I love it when some of my favorite things come together into one great collectible item!
- Peter V. Brett is one of the nicest and most fun writers you will ever meet.
- Subterranean Press is a small specialty press producing some of the highest quality fully illustrated editions of fantasy and science fiction books in the marketplace.
- The Warded Man, titled The Painted Man in the UK, is one of the breakout debut books of 2009.
Put all of those together with a gorgeous cover, and one great book is forthcoming!
Subterranean Press announced today that they will be producing The Great Bazaar and Other Stories, a collection of short stories set in the same demon-ridden world as The Warded Man. It will contain a long new sotyr, as well as several outtakes from the first novel in the series—really, standalone short stories themselves—as well as additional material to flesh out Brett’s bravura storytelling.
In addition to the small trade hardcover, Subterranean Press is producing only 200 signed numbered copies, which, given Brett and epic fantasy’s popularity, are certain to sell quickly!
The Great Bazaar and Other Stories will be released in January 2010.
Also announced today is a very cool limited edition of Joe Abercrombie’s The Blade Itself, the first volume of one of the grittiest, most exciting, bloody epic fantasy trilogies to come down the pike in over a decade. As Joe is also one of the best fantasy writers going right now, read more about the Subterranean Press edition HERE!
I love beautiful special editions! Nice job, Subterranean!



Thanks for the heads up I just put an order in for the limited edition of this something nice to look forward to around tax time. The book also includes a glossary and grimoire should make it a very interesting piece to collect with the series.
