Later this year HarperCollins in the US will be publishing Neil Gaiman’s second collection of short fiction, Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders. It’s a book I’ve been looking forward to for more than a little while. I think Neil’s short fiction has been getting better and better over the past few years or so, and some of it is just terrific, so I’m expecting the collection to be something special (I’ve also had an advance look at one of the stories in the book, which I think is wonderful, and worth the price of admission all by itself). Anyway, while we’re waiting for galleys and final copies and all of that, I came across a note in the Hill House catalogue. Hill House are some nice guys who do crazy expensive books – I don’t think I’ve even seen one, never mind bought one – but I am interested in their announcement that they’re doing a signed limited edition of Fragile Things. If you’re a Gaiman fan and might be interested, you can’t pre-order it quite yet, but you will be able to soon. This has been a head’s up.
