The Extinction Event Anthology

Textinctioneventhe Extinction Event is the final anthology from the wonderful Jurassic London and is edited by Jared Shurin.
– “a celebration of five great years, and a hearty ‘thank you!’ to all the authors, artists, partners and readers that made Jurassic London possible”.

I am extremely proud to announce that I have a story coming in this anthology.
Jared Shurin and Anne Perry at Jurassic London (https://www.facebook.com/Jurassic.London) have always been firm supporters of Something Wicked (https://www.facebook.com/Something-Wicked-Science-Fiction-…/ – my old short-fiction magazine) and it was an honour to be allowed to submit a story for their final anthology, and an even BIGGER honour to have it accepted.

The Extinction Event will be published on 20 October, and only as a slipcased hardcover, limited to 150 numbered copies. It comes complete with black and white illustrations, colour endpapers, a snazzy ribbon bookmark and everything else we could possibly throw into it.

This will be the only edition. Once they’re gone… they’re gone.
