Fantastic Early Reviews for This Way to the End Times!

If you’re a fan of science fiction, you won’t want to miss THIS WAY TO THE END TIMES: Classic Tales of the Apocalypse edited by Robert Silverberg, one of science-fiction’s most beloved writers.  This collection of 21 gripping stories about the not-too-distant demise of the earth as we know it, will be out on October 25, 2016 from Three Rooms Press.

this-way-to-the-end-times

And what a collection! From rare classic tales by science-fiction legends Jules Vernes and Olaf Stapledon, intense works by Grand Masters Connie Willis, Jack Vance, Ursula K. Le Guin and Brian W. Aldiss, to haunting stories by contemporary authors Dale Bailey, Karen Haber, Alvaro Zinos-Amaro, and Megan Arkenberg, THIS WAY TO THE END TIMES paves the road to the fantastical future, alternating humor with grit, and hope with ghastly post-apocalyptic visions.

Early reviews from the book trade publications have been fantastic!

Booklist gave it a starred review and says, “With its range of contributors, this is a much needed volume that will both satisfy the high demand for apocalyptic tales and remind readers of the actual breadth and depth of this literature of the end of the world.”

Publishers Weekly also gave it a starred review and says, “These stunning stories contemplate survival while question whether life is worth saving.”

And Kirkus Reviews says “the variety of ways in which these stories choose to end the world offers a great deal—nightmarish, funny, lonely, or hopeful—for the imagination. Wonderfully written, surprisingly varied apocalyptic tales”

Add THIS WAY TO THE END TIMES to your Fall must-read list.  You can pre-order on Amazon today!

Critics are singing their praises for SONGS OF MY SELFIE

SONGS OF MY SELFIE: An Anthology of Millennial Stories (Three Rooms Press Trade Paperback Original, April 2016) edited by Constance Renfrow is making a big noise in the book world!

In SONGS OF MY SELFIE, millennials speak directly about their experiences, and the result is a compelling new view of a generation that defies stereotypes. And the critics agree:Songs_of_my-Selfie

Vanessa Hudgens’ blog ASTRAL AND OPAL names it a “book that will suck you in from page 1.” 

BUSTLE calls it the #1 book that “celebrates the millennial spirit.”

BUZZFEED says it’s a “mesmerizing read for millennials.”

The TAMPA BAY TIMES featured it in their Notable Millennial Lives series.

Chicago Tribune/Redeye ChicagoC called it one of “25 books we can’t wait to get our hands on in April.”

Portland Review of Books raves, “This is a wonderful collection of stories from some of the brightest young writers today.”

San Francisco Book Review says, “This anthology dispels the myths that millennials are a generation of self-absorbed, shiftless, shallow children. Instead, these 17 writers—all age 26 or younger—paints a new cohort of intelligent people dealing with very real problems unique to their challenging economic and social situations.”

Cracked.com, advises, “If you want a preview of some writers with brighter futures than the newspapers anticipate, well, here you go.”
