Now available throughout the universe.

Elation, compulsion, exploration, love and exquisitely timed bullying, a lascivious oyster, a man called Eggplant, the dangers of smelling like honey pudding, the enticement of innocent toadlets, the unending day of deadness. The daughter of a part-time magician and a Las Vegas showgirl turns to science, destiny points a young man to brassiere design, suddenly orphaned siblings try to protect their most vulnerable, fortunes craze in neighbourhoods living cheek-by-jowl. Unintendeds abound, as life cavorts in all its unclassifiable contrariness.

"In these 26 stories, she's at her best."
- Jeffrey Ford

"On my short list of beloved idiosyncrasts, which includes R.A. Lafferty and Avram Davidson, there is still no one else the least bit like Anna Tambour."
- Marc Laidlaw

"Anna Tambour is a rogue punk-prophetess whose writings not only stray from the beaten path; some of them are so far out there that you can hear the distant drums of strange story-tribes being awakened by her prose."
- I. O'Reilly, British Fantasy Society review

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ticonderoga Publications are thrilled to announce the forthcoming publication of Anna Tambour's story collection, The Finest Ass in the Universe, available worldwide from August 2015.

The Finest Ass in the Universe collects 26 fantastic and unique visions, 5 stories original to the collection, and an introduction by Jeffrey Ford.

Interzone said of her first collection, “Monterra’s Deliciosa is a delicious collection of often startling and outrageous tales.”

Faren Millar in Locus described the collection as: “Monterra’s Deliciosa & Other Tales & could never be mistaken for ordinary genre fiction ... don’t imagine this as high falutin’ ‘lit’rature’ accessible only to people with advanced degrees. Anyone with a taste for beauty, audacity, sensuality, and wit can find much to enjoy here.”

The Finest Ass in the Universe is scheduled for publication in August 2015. The collection will be available in limited edition hardcover, hardcover, ebook and trade paperback editions.

Attendees of Melbourne's Continuum convention will have the opportunity to get a sneak preview of this fabulous collection and be the first in the world to buy this book.

Anna Tambour's novel, Crandolin was shortlisted for the 2013 World Fantasy Award. She describes these stories as
