Boskone Book: Dubious Pleasures, by Greg Cox

Available for purchase at https://tinyurl.com/nesfadubiouspleasures.

Collected for the first time!

Nearly twenty original stories by award-winning, New York Times bestselling author Greg Cox.

Written over the course of forty years, these offbeat and imaginative tales range from humor to horror, from sword-and-sorcery to space opera, from the foggy streets of gaslit London to the bigfoot-haunted wilderness of the Weird West, from lost kingdoms to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, with assorted colorful side trips and detours in-between.

A true-crime writer resorts to time-travel to catch a killer. A Yuletide exorcism leads to harrowing reindeer games. A grade-school kid finds a numerical menace lurking in his homework. An enterprising crew of interstellar grifters cope with some very unhappy customers. And a cursed were-salmon swims upstream to his destiny...

These and other curious tales can all be found, together at last, in Cox’s first-ever short story collection.

LAcon V & Geri Sullivan

Fellow of NESFA Geri Sullivan is a Guest of Honor at LAcon V, the 2026 World Science Fiction Convention in Anaheim, CA. Other NESFAns are helping run the convention, from Hospitality Division Manager Gay Ellen Dennett to Sharon Sbarsky, one of the Hugo Award Finalist Liaisons.


Boskone committee members and regular volunteers David D’Antonio, Anna Bradley, Gail Terman, and Terry Neill are also contributing their expertise. There are sure to be more NESFAns and Boskone regulars helping out by the time fans gather in Anaheim in August. One of Geri’s favorite things about Worldcons is that there are literally hundreds of ways to get involved that fit your interests and availability – before the convention and at it! Every little bit helps, and the big bits help, too. Find out more at https://www.lacon.org/ or by talking with fans at the NESFA Clubhouse on Wednesday nights.
