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!

An Evening with Israel Horovitz with very special guest Estelle Parsons

Renowned playwright, screenwriter, and director Israel Horovitz will be joined by Academy Award-winning star of stage and screen Estelle Parsons for an evening of reading and discussion of Horovitz’s new book, MY OLD LADY: Complete Stage Play and Screenplay with an Essay on Adaptation (2016, Three Rooms Press). The event will be at Barrow Street Theatre, 27 Barrow Street (at 7th Avenue) in New York City, Monday, April 18, 7 p.m. The $15 admission fee includes a free, signed copy of the book.

At the event, Horovitz and Parsons will read and discuss scenes from both stage and screen versions of MY OLD LADY. Cover

Parsons, who won an Oscar for her role in Bonnie and Clyde, recently starred in a critically-acclaimed staging of MY OLD LADY at Palm Beach Dramaworks. The Wall Street Journal had high praise for the play and Parsons, calling it “Magic . . . beautifully drawn characters . . . Estelle Parsons has amazing energy and forcefulness . . .” Parsons will soon star in Horovitz’s new play, “Out of the Mouths of Babes” at Cherry Lane Theatre June 7 through July 17.

In 2014, at the age of 74, Horovitz adapted MY OLD LADY as a film—starring Kevin Kline, Maggie Smith, and Kristin Scott Thomas—which he also directed. RogerEbert.com called the film version “A revelation and a pleasure.”

In the new book, scripts for the play and film are bridged with a lengthy essay in which Horovitz shares his insights into the creative process and knowledge gained while transforming the spoken language of the stage to the visual language of the screen. Barnet Kellmen, film director and professor at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, notes that, “Adapting a play to the screen can be a perilous undertaking . . . Luckily Israel Horovitz is the perfect guide . . . “

Tickets for the event are $15 and can be purchased in advance or at the door. For ticketing information and additional details, visit ThreeRoomsPress.
