Subterranean Press’ Storm Front cover art

Subterranean Press has just released the cover piece for their illustrated edition of Storm Front, featuring art by Vincent Chong.

SubPress reports:

The first of our Dresden Files limited editions took a huge step closer to publication this week, as Vincent Chong turned in the cover for Jim Butcher’s Storm Front. Vinny is hard at work on the interior illos. As soon as he completes those, we’ll be sending the book to the printer. As we’ve mentioned before, we don’t expect to have copies of Storm Front for wholesalers or large online retailers, so your only option on this one is ordering direct from SubPress.
Limited: 500 signed numbered hardcovers: $60

This is not to be confused with the Dabel Brothers’ graphic novel adaptation of Storm Front, penciled by Ardian Syaf and scripted by Mark Powers. More info on that coming soon!

Turn Coat blurb and Mean Streets cover art!

Fantasy Book Critic brings us the blurb for Turn Coat, eleventh book in The Dresden Files!

The Warden Morgan has been accused of treason against the Wizards of the White Council–and there’s only one, final punishment for that crime. He’s on the run, wants his name cleared, and needs someone with a knack for backing the underdog. Someone like Harry Dresden.
Now, Harry must uncover a traitor within the Council, keep a less-than-agreeable Morgan under wraps, and avoid coming under scrutiny himself. And a single mistake may cost someone his head–someone like Harry.

Turn Coat hits bookshelves April 7th, 2009. Pre-order it through the Jim-Butcher.com store here!
Fantasy Book Critic also brings us the cover art for Mean Streets, an upcoming book containing paranormal mystery novellas by Jim Butcher, Simon R. Green, Kat Richardson, and Thomas E. Sniegoski.

Jim describes his story thusly: (BEWARE! Spoilers for SMALL FAVOR!)

At the moment, I’m calling it “The Warrior,” and it’s going to deal with the aftermath of Michael’s injury and its implications for his life and Harry’s–especially given that to a lot of onlookers, one of Harry’s primary allies just got converted into a MAJOR liability.

Mean Streets is slated for January 6th, 2009. Pre-order it here!
