This blog, Tales from the Bookworm’s Lair, has and always will be about my love of books. Mostly, I publish book reviews here, and don’t plan to change that. On occasion, I’ve also posted book-related comedy stuff I’ve encountered, notes about sales and coupons from publishers and book retailers, interviews with authors, bragging about book acquisitions, etc. I’ll continue to do that. But I do want to make an announcement here, because, well, it’s my blog and I can do that. It’s also a book-related announcement, so it’s not exactly out of place.

I have formed a small publishing company, called Uncanny Books. I plan to focus on publishing quality genre literature, including science fiction, fantasy, horror, and pulps. A lot of this fiction will be entirely new works that have never seen the light of day, but some will be what I’m calling “Uncanny Books Classics,” works that have fallen into the public domain but that are not widely available (or available electronically at all, in many cases). Needless to say, I’m excited about this new venture. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a very long time, and it feels great now that I’ve founded the company.

I’ve also got my first open call for novels. The submission period begins on July 15, 2013 and ends on September 15, 2013. Out of these submissions I hope to publish one or more books that can become the kernel of shared worlds that other authors can explore (think series like Thieves World, Wild Cards, and so forth).

This blog will host my discussion of all things bookish: favorite authors and books, new acquisitions, book sales and coupons, the state of the publishing and book retail industries, reading culture, and, above all, book reviews. The subjects I read are eclectic and include: science fiction and fantasy, horror, pulp fiction, crime and noir, men’s adventure, history, graphic novels, and almost any other genre of literature save romance novels, technical manuals, and any other topic I deem “boring.”

I welcome comments on all my blog posts, even the old ones, so please feel free to comment. If you find one of my reviews interesting or provocative, let me know.

If you’re interested in purchasing a copy of a book that I have reviewed, please feel to use the Amazon links I have provided on the review, as using one of those will send a few cents my way. But I promise my readers that the possibility of earning this pittance from Amazon has not affected the content or tenor of any of my reviews.

Review Policy: I am open to reviewing books (physical or eBook format) received gratis from publishers and authors, though I can only promise an honest review. Please contact me with an inquiry before sending a review copy, as I cannot promise to review all books.

I can be contacted via the blog or email: andrew dot byers at gmail dot com.
