Songs of the Dying Earth

November 11, 2008

In a tribute to the celebrated Jack Vance (author of many sci-fi & fantasy books, include The Dying Earth), George RR Martin (author of A Song of Ice and Fire) and Gardner Dozois (long-time editor of Asimov's Science Fiction magazine) have teamed together to create a new collection of short stories from many fantasy and sci-fi authors, including Michael Moorcock, Jeff Vandermeer, Neil Gaiman, Tad Williams and many, many more.

These short stories are all original works, and they are all set in Vance's world - The Dying Earth, a planet in the far future, where technology and magic co-exist.

According to Martin's website, the last three stories in the anthology are nearing completion, and Jack Vance himself has completed an original preface for the book. The illustration artwork by Tom Kidd is reportedly something exquisite.

Songs of the Dying Earth is now available for pre-order at Amazon.com.
