Fungi, the anthology of all things mycotic edited by Orrin Grey and Silvia Moreno-Garcia, has an official sporing date and a final cover for the paperback edition: November 2012 for the pre-sale and December 2012 for the official release. All books ship in December.
The paperback ($14.99) and e-book ($6.99) editions of Fungi will be identical. However, Fungi will also be available as a hardcover ($28.00) with three extra stories not included in the paperback and ten black-and-white illustrations by Bernie Gonzalez.
Fungi is an eclectic anthology with stories that run the gamut from horror to dark fantasy. A mushroom submarine, anthropomorphic cats, hallucinogenic fungi, mushroom people, private investigators, and mercenaries make for a very different kind of anthology.

Whoot. You’ve been putting out some great anthologies. I look forward to this one as well. I am glad to see that you are going with trade, ebook, and premium hardcover. This is the future of publishing; there is still room for the printed page in the future of publishing, it will be for the collectors and will have special incentives not available in the less expensive versions. Well done.
Thank you! We hope people will enjoy the “enhanced” version.
