fpw Wrote:To get this back on topic (how'd this turn into a PETS thread?), I thought I should mention that "Freak Show" is a maybe as part of the collection. I've culled out all my linking material from the anthology and will, if possible, turn it into a stand-alone novella. "If possible" is the operative concept here. I haven't reread the material yet so I don't know if I can bring it off. But it would be nice to see it on its own.

Forgive me if this has been asked and answered recently; I don't remember seeing it.

It's 32k words long (10k of which are new) and has cover and interior illustrations by Caniglia. It will be a limited edition hardcover (frankly, I've gorgotten the limitation # - 500?). I don't want to name the small press until it puts it up for pre-order.[/SIZE]

Maggers Wrote:Of course there are. FPW always creates multifaceted characters, and Oz is one of the most interesting. Oz cares for and protects his brothers and sisters of the Otherness and gives them all a better life, with respect, than they had before they joined The Show. But cross Oz or try to hurt one of the members of The Show, and watch out! We got a taste of that in "All The Rage," and we see it in spades in "Freak Show."
