TOC: Tales of the Wold Newton Universe by Philip José Farmer and Others

Tales of the Wold Newton Universe

A collection of Wold Newton-inspired short stories by Farmerphiles, experts, and the Grand Master of SF himself.

I am pleased to announce that Titan Books has settled on the final Table of Contents for the Wold Newton Anthology, Tales of the Wold Newton Universe. The book collects, for the first time ever in one volume, Philip José Farmer's Wold Newton short stories, and also includes tales by other writers.

 The Introduction by Win Scott Eckert (coauthor with Farmer of the Wold Newton novel The Evil in Pemberley House) and Christopher Paul Carey (coauthor with Farmer of the Khokarsa novel The Song of Kwasin) will provide an overview of Farmer's Wold Newton Family and Mythos. In addition, Eckert and Carey will provide brief introductions to the stories themselves, explaining why each entry is a Wold Newton tale.

 Tales of the Wold Newton Universe is available for preorder at Amazon, AmazonUK, and B&N. As with all the Farmer books from Titan, there will also be an eBook version.

Countdown to the new Philip José Farmer books from Titan! (post #6)


This series of posts covers Titan Books' current plans for its series of Philip José Farmer reissues, which fall under the umbrellas Wold Newton Series and Grandmaster Series.


New Info Revealed Today!

My introduction to Lord of the Trees has been submitted and is entitled "A Tale of Two Universes." Christopher Paul Carey has contributed two pieces to the new edition of Hadon of Ancient Opar: an introduction entitled "The Literary Archaeology of Khokarsa" and an afterword, "A Guide to Khokarsa."


COVER REVEAL!

I'm pleased to share the cover to the new edition of the Doc Caliban novel The Mad Goblin!


They were known simply as the Nine - grim and ancient rulers who thirty thousand years ago had discovered the key to eternal life and ever since had secretly held the world in thrall.

Once, Doc Caliban had been their servant and had shared their secrets. Now, appalled by their tyranny, he has turned against them, daring to challenge their centuries-old supremacy. Together with two henchmen whose superhuman skills match his own, Caliban sets out on the trail of the deadliest of the Nine: the mad goblin Iwaldi, the very incarnation of evil...

Countdown to the new Philip José Farmer books from Titan! (post #5)


This series of posts covers Titan Books' current plans for its series of Philip José Farmer reissues, which fall under the umbrellas Wold Newton Series and Grandmaster Series.


COVER RE-REVEAL!

Today I'm pleased to share the fantastic updated cover to the new edition of the controversial Lord Grandrith/Doc Caliban novel A Feast Unknown!

The diaries of Lord Grandrith, the legendary ape-man, lord of the jungle and bastard son of Jack the Ripper. Blessed with unnatural long life, his power brings with it a gruesome side effect - one shared by his nemesis, the formidable Doc Caliban, man of bronze and Champion of Justice.

But these two titans have more in common than they could ever have imagined. Who are the dark manipulators of their destiny?
