"Fast Ships, Black Sails” edited by Ann and Jeff VanderMeer is being released today, December 1st. This anthology is full of stories about life as a pirate. The cover artwork is from Scott Altmann, an amazing artist that we had the joy of interviewing a few months back.
 From the book's description: Do you love the sound of a peg leg stomping across a quarterdeck? Or maybe you prefer a parrot on your arm, a strong wind at your back? Adventure, treasure, intrigue, humor, romance, danger - and, yes, plunder! Oh, the Devil does love a pirate - and so do readers everywhere! Swashbuckling from the past into the future and space itself, Fast Ships, Black Sails, edited by Ann and Jeff VanderMeer, presents an incredibly entertaining volume of original stories guaranteed to make you walk and talk like a pirate.
Some of the writers who have stories included in this book are Naomi Novik, Micheal Moorcock, Howard Waldrop, Eric Flint, and Kate Baker. You can download the story from Elizabeth Bear and Sarah Monette called “Boojum” at the wired blog here. Also included is a new Sir Hereward & Mr. Fitz novella from Gath Nix. You can read reviews of this anthology at "Adventures In Reading" or "The Fix". Order Fast Ships, Black Sails on Amazon.
