Backup Cover and Storm Front SE status update!
Posted by priscellie on Mar 25 08
We now have the cover art for Backup, plus a status update on their Special Edition of Storm Front! From Subterranean Press: We've completed the design and initial proofing of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files novelette, Backup. All that's left is for Jim to set pen to the signature pages and take a final proofing tour through the book himself. Mike Mignola (of Hellboy fame) has graced us with the striking cover as well as four black-and-white interior illustrations, making this a rare treat for Jim (and Mike's) many fans. Printed in two colors throughout, with such great illustrations and a rare glimpse at Harry Dresden's world through the eyes of his demon brother, Thomas, Backup has turned into a very special project indeed.

Posted by priscellie on Mar 07 08
Tonight, the Sci-Fi Channel is finally broadcasting the unaired Dresden Files TV pilot in the US! This two-hour cut of "Storm Front" features exciting new scenes that were cut from the one-hour version that aired last year. Unfortunately, it's slated for 3AM EST.

Artwork for BACKUP Just Turned In
Posted by iago on Mar 06 08
Yoinked from the Subterranean Press site: Jim Butcher Update — Artwork for BACKUP Just Turned InJust a quick update on Backup, the Dresden Files tale by Jim Butcher due later this year. Mike Mignola has just turned in the cover and interior illustrations for our 72 page hardcover chapbook. The limited edition is long sold out, but copies of the $20 trade hardcover may still be preordered. Given Jim's legions of fans, we suspect this one won't be around for long after it's released this fall, so you might want to get in an early order to be certain of receiving a copy. We’ll post samples of Mike's artwork in the next few weeks. March 04, 2008

Like Small Favor, the signature can be personalized. Place your order here! If you want to add Storm Front to a previous order, please write Shawn and notify him; he can reimburse the second $9.95 shipping fee and ship the two books together, if applicable.

Small Favor Pre-Order Madness!
Posted by priscellie on Feb 26 08
A little over a month remains until Small Favor hits shelves! Folks in the US have a variety of choices when it comes to snagging the book itself! Here are our favorites:
The Small Favor audiobook, also released April 1st, can be purchased from Amazon and Buzzy Multimedia. Like the first four audiobooks, it is read by James Marsters. The audios for books 5-9 will depend on the audio sales of "Small Favor" and upon Mr. Marsters' schedule and availability. International Fans Rejoice! For the first time, the Orbit/UK release is nearly simultaneous with the American release. Pre-order Small Favor (or should we say Small Favour?) from Amazon UK, for an April 3rd release.

Forum Status

As many of you have noticed, the forum is down. It should be back within the next 24 hours. Fred explains: My provider has decided, again, that there's a problem with the amount of use the site sees. They're going to be upgrading my account and (probably) moving it to a new server that gives me a bigger share of the resources. This could mean we'll be down for around a day.Thank you for your patience! February 19, 2008
