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.

Third Edition of Dreamweaver's Dilemma by Lois McMaster Bujold

Dreamweaver's Dilemma contains two novellas which had never been published before—the title story "Dreamweaver's Dilemma" and "The Adventure of the Lady on the Embankment"—plus the first appearance of "Mountains of Mourning," three of Lois's previously uncollected short stories, and four essays. The book also includes an interview with Lois, a timeline of the Vorkosigan stories, genealogical notes, and a pronunciation guide by the book's editor, Suford Lewis. It was produced as a limited hardcover edition as the Boskone 33 book (1996) when Lois was Guest of Honor.

The second edition (first paperback edition) was produced shortly thereafter in 1997 and reprinted numerous times.

This third edition (second paperback edition) is enhanced by bringing informational chapters up to date and including a new preface by Lois and a short Codicil to the Biolog: Thirty Years After. This edition is also available in ebook format.
