Only three days left in the @locusmag.bsky.social anthology Kickstarter! How freakin' awesome would it be to have an entire novella by @wtalabi.com included? And a gorgeous original piece of cover art by @johnpicacio.bsky.social? Let's make it happen!

Everyone! Funding ends Fri Aug 7 @ 6PM PDT. We are so close to reaching our $60k goal (adding a novella), but our DREAM GOAL gets us original cover art and allows us to double pay contributors. We want to show more love to our authors & you can help @ kck.st/4wtYJ6X !

background: an erupting orange volcano in front of blue sky. Text reads "funding ends, fri aug 7, 6 pm pdt" green thermometer with filled in levels: "sleek anthology, big ol book, more beautiful book, pay the editor" unfilled levels: "add a novella, variant covers, pay authors more!" a green badge that says now live kickstarter, locusmag.com/anthology. A book w/ cover featuring floating ruins and a person with a red cape.

I just received a lovely copy of Vulture Gold by @micahdeanhicks.com in the mail. I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek last year for blurbing purposes and look how gorgeously it turned out! The cover! *Swoon* The stories inside are equally gorgeous too!

The image shows a paperback copy of the collection Vulture Gold by Micah Dean Hicks. The cover art shows a series of bird heads in profile, seemingly pouring downward from the top of the cover to the bottom, possibly devouring each other. The book is propped against a homemade talking board and just visible at the left of the frame is a black plastic bird skeleton.
