Ticonderoga Publications is excited to announce the signing of Alan Baxter’s debut collection Crow Shine.
Crow Shine is scheduled for publication in September 2016.
The dark fantasy collection features 19 stories, including the Australian Shadows Award-winning "Shadows of the Lonely Dead"; and original title story "Crow Shine" in addition to two other never before published stories.
"Alan Baxter is rapidly becoming one of Australia's premier dark fantasists, and Crow Shine showcases some incredible work," Ticonderoga Editor Russell B Farr said.
"While his stories can be dark, they also show an incredible respect for the human condition, and each one enriches the reader," Russell B Farr added.
"I'm so pleased to work with Ticonderoga on this book," Alan Baxter said. "I can't imagine anyone who would do a better job. It's really exciting to see so many years of my dark weird work collected like this."
The sale was made via Alex Adsett of Alex Adsett Publishing Services.
