Last Call: The Book of Spores (Kickstarter Edition)

I know it has been a while since I last mentioned The Book of Spores short story collection here on my blog, but I was notified today that the late backer store for the Kickstarter campaign will be closing on July 16, 2026 (this Thursday.)

At this time, it is the only way to secure a physical copy of the book, and I don’t know when it will be available on retailers. A planned public release date has not been set at this time, and there’s a good chance I may not know about it until it’s almost here.

So… If you’d still like to snag a copy of The Book of Spores (in any format – ebooks are available on the late backer store too!) these are the final days you can get one. You can access the late backer store here.

My story contribution to the collection is Not All Books Are Worth Reading. It’s related to Wraith and the Revolution, and is set about 6 years after the conclusion of the novel.

About the Book of Spores

Hidden in the vaults of a world-spanning library lie the records of a mysterious book, one made of mold and magic. Varied accounts of its existence remain scattered throughout the multiverse, but when an archivist attempts to bring its pages together, she will learn how dangerous a book—and her own ambitions—can be . . .

Collecting fungal tales from across countless universes, this FanFiAddict anthology spotlights the best of fantasy, science fiction, and horror.

The authors contributing to the anthology are: Emma L. Adams, Eleni Argyro, Fraiser Armitage, Adam Bassett, Tom Bookbeard, A.J. Calvin, C.M. Caplan, Harry Chilcott, C.J. Daley, Tori Gross, Greta Kelly, Ryan Kirk, M.J. Kuhn, Kaden Love, Krystle Matar, D.B. Rook, and Will Swardstrom. The cover artwork is by Jeff Brown, and the interior formatting is by Adrian M. Gibson.
