new from Willows Wept Press

htbltb20front20coverWillows Wept Press has revealed the cover of the first book in what promises to be a solid catalog. Matt Bell‘s How The Broken Lead The Blind anchors the press and is due to be printed this month. To fully appreciate the artwork by Christy Call, you can see a wraparound cover here.

You can preorder it at the website for $10. Get on it quickly, as there are only 100 copies to be printed.

 

And look out for the next Willows Wept book, Scott Garson‘s Vercingetorix.

      That’s cool. I’m sure Matt is holding out for the big leagues when it comes to his novel. I hear it’s like Time Traveller’s Wife mixed with Infinite Jest.

      Christy, Remember, you showed me the “art” that Barry told me was on the cover….

      Thanks everyone! And this chapbook is all separate stories, mostly flashes or slightly longer than flash stuff. The longest is 1200 words, I think. The next chapbook is a single long piece, but told in short sections. A flash novella, maybe? I don’t know what to call it.

      And Kevin, I don’t know about any big leagues– I’m mostly just holding out until the novel gets good. Two drafts down, starting round three soon. Maybe it’ll even creep under 400 pages this time!

      And yes, Christy Call is a badass. I’m so glad she did the cover art for this.

      Thanks again, everyone!
