In a conversation with Connor Cochran about six months ago, he mentioned the title of this book. When I was on Amazon earlier today, hunting around for Big Band music, I got a notice: "We Never Talk About My Brother is available for pre-order."

Talk about exciting! And isn't that a BEAUTIFUL cover?

The Product Description says this about the book:

"Modern parables of love, death, and transformation are peppered with melancholy in this extraordinary collection of contemporary fantasy. Each short story cultivates a whimsical sense of imagination and reveals a mature, darker voice than previously experienced from this legendary author. In one tale the Angel of Death enjoys newfound celebrity while moonlighting as an anchorman on the network news, while in another the shortsighted ruler of a gentle realm betrays himself in dreaming of a "manageable war." Further storylines include an American librarian who discovers that, much to his surprise and sadness, he is the last living Frenchman, and rivals in a supernatural battle who decide to forgo pistols at dawn, choosing instead to duel with dramatic recitations of terrible poetry. Featuring several previously unpublished stories alongside a bevy of recently released works, this haunting compilation is appealing to both genre readers and mainstream literature lovers."

This new work by our one and only PSB sounds extremely exciting and I can't wait until it's available for purchase!

November 1st , 2008 - Keep that date in mind and go snag a copy of this sure-to-be exciting and beautiful book!

I'll see if I can get ahold of Connor this weekend and see what's going on in the Team Beagle homefront!

Have a great weekend, all! =)
