I knew Tor had a story archive, but I didn't know about Subterranean Press's online magazine!

There's dozens of stories from all sorts of authors.  Some of the standouts I noticed are:

• Fiction: White Lines on a Green Field by Catherynne M. Valente
• Fiction: Valley of the Girls by Kelly Link
• Fiction: Water to Wine by Mary Robinette Kowal
• Audio: The Tricks of London by Elizabeth Bear (This is a short story from the New Amsterdam series)
• Fiction: The Lifecycle of Software Objects by Ted Chiang
• Fiction: The Bohemian Astrobleme by Kage Baker
• Fiction: Red By Ekaterina Sedia
• Fiction: Snow Dragons by Elizabeth Bear
• Fiction: Seven Views of Olduvai Gorge by Mike Resnick
• Audiobook: Promises to Keep by Charles de Lint, read by Yanni Kuznia  (This doesn't look long enough to be the full novel though)
• Fiction: Jude Confronts Global Warming by Joe Hill
  
  (In other news, my library is ordering a copy of ad eternum -- which makes me happy!  It's so hard to justify paying $20 for a novella.)

I always meant to check that out. . . but somehow had never gotten around to it 'til now. Thanks for the heads up! ;)

(I justified $20 for a novella because I took advantage of their half-off preorders sale some months ago. Got The Best of Kage Baker and Connie Willis' All About Emily too. *grin* And I'm really glad I did, because I just moved and my new library doesn't appear to have the resources (or maybe inclination) to buy Subterranean Press. Sadness!)

I hadn't even heard of the Connie Willis one until now.  Thanks!  I just checked and my library has ordered a copy of that too.  They must have gone on a buying spree.  Neither of these books were in the system last week.

I would have bought an e-book copy of ad eternum.  The others in the series were only $5 and that's rather reasonable for a Subterranean Press book, but so far they haven't released it yet.

And is there any chance of inter-library loan?  Do they buy any of the other small-press books? 

Haven't looked into inter-library loan. . . definitely will on my next trip. It's a TINY library. . . They do have a couple titles from Prime Books, which is promising. . . but on the other hand, they don't have any copies of the new N. K. Jemisin title. And they seem to be most annoying in one regard: they are scattershot with their approach to series. They'll have book #1. . . then book #4. . . and nothing else. Maddening!

Sounds like the small town library I grew up with.  Good luck with the loans.

Maybe you should stock up on books of your own.  Free Shipping @ half.com until 6/4

LOL, thanks for the tip! Can't say the thought of buying new books is ever less than pleasant! ;)
