Od ovog meseca Bukspejs će dobiti neke nove sadržaje. Naime, blog neće biti posvećen samo prikazima i dužim tekstovima, već i kraćim najava i vestima. U tom duhu, evo kratkog osvrta na tri najavljena naslova, koja su mi skrenula pažnju u dovoljnoj meri da ih stavim na spisak knjiga za čitanje:
Ovog meseca nije se bogznašta pojavilo a da nije već bilo dostupno u
obliku nekog ARCa, ili da nije reprint. Doduše, što se mene tiče, ovog
meseca komotno nije moralo da izađe ništa sem Stoverovog Caine's Law -
još samo da mi dopadne šaka.
Ali zato Tor kao nenormalan hajpuje svoju novu uzdanicu iz podžanra urbane fantastike, pod imenom Rhiannon Held i sa romanom-prvencem Silver
Andrew Dare is a werewolf. He’s the enforcer for the Roanoke pack, and responsible for capturing or killing any Were intruders in Roanoke’s territory. But the lone Were he’s tracking doesn’t smell or act like anyone he’s ever encountered. And when he catches her, it doesn’t get any better. She’s beautiful, she’s crazy, and someone has tortured her by injecting silver into her veins. She says her name is Silver, and that she’s lost her wild self and can’t shift any more.
The packs in North America have a live-and-let-live attitude, and try not to overlap with each other. But Silver represents a terrible threat to every Were on the continent.
Andrew and Silver will join forces to track down this menace while discovering their own power and their passion for each other.
Komentari čitalaca su krajnje loši. Naravno, meni sve vreme u glavi odzvanja pitanje - zašto kk Tor pokušava da uđe na tržište urbane fantastike i paranormalne romantike, kada očigledno nema urednike koji se snalaze u tom žanru? Pomalo me podsećaju na naše izdavače, koji biraju knjige tako što gledaju šta ima pet zvezdica na Amazonu (čast izuzecima).
Od zanimljivih novosti izdvojio bih i dve najavljene antologije. Prva je čedo neumornog Džona Džozefa Adamsa, koji je toliko vrstan urednik da je čak i mene ubedio da čitam kratke priče i novele.
Other Worlds Than These by John Joseph Adams

Other Worlds Than These by John Joseph Adams
What if you could not only travel any location in the world, but to any possible world?
We can all imagine such “other worlds”—be they worlds just slightly
different than our own or worlds full of magic and wonder—but it is only
in fiction that we can travel to them. From The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to The Dark Tower, from The Golden Compass to The Chronicles of Narnia,
there is a rich tradition of this kind of fiction, but never before
have the best parallel world stories and portal fantasies been collected
in a single volume—until now.

Ova antologija ne sadrži originalne priče, koliko mogu da vidim. Na primer, Martinova je objavljena marta meseca prošle godine i može da se pročita na http://www.fantasy-magazine.com/new/new-fiction/the-lonely-songs-of-laren-dorr/ Međutim, pobrojani pisci su vrhunski predstavnici onoga što braća Ameri zovu Fantastika (to što mi govorimo SF i fentezi, a Ameri "Fantastika" beskrajno mi je zabavno), tako da sam u iskušenju da počnem da skupljam Adamsove antologije.
Takođe je predstavljena i antologija
The Apex Book of World SF 2 by Lavie Tidhar

Quiet horror from Cuba and Australia; surrealist fantasy from Russia and epic fantasy from Poland; near-future tales from Mexico and Finland, or cyberpunk from South Africa: in this anthology one gets a glimpse of the complex and fascinating world of genre fiction – from all over our world.

Ovoga puta nema Srba (u prošloj antologiji je bio zastupljen Živković), ali zato ima Poljaka, Rusa i raznoraznih Afrikanaca.
Sve u svemu, čini mi se da imamo još pisaca pored Živkovića koji zaslužuju da se nađu u ovakvoj jednoj zbirci. Bakić, Nešić, Jakšić, a siguran sam i neki mlađi pisci, u ovakvoj jednoj antologiji osećali bi se kao kod kuće. Skrobonju i Kneževića neću ni da ističem posebno, pošto su i jedan i drugi već objavljivani na trulom zapadu.
