(Splendid) Ap-Ril Fool's!

Cover art by Natalie Asplund.

Today sees the release of the 100% super-duper canon Star Wars anthology Tales from Apeiron, part of the Expanded Encounters series that builds on Joe Bongiorno's seminal novel Supernatural Encounters: The Trial and Transformation of Arhul Hextrophon. This very serious and inescapably-canonical collection contains my stories "Pvt. Jessup and the Mad Priestess of Auseil" and "Falls the Final Shadow: The Testament of Ultima Umbra." In the former, we learn the diegetic origins of a very famous stock scream - while the latter celebrates (?) the impact left on Star Wars fandom by George Lucas' confidant and totally real best friend, Mickey "SuperShadow" Suttle. Featuring an introduction by Joe Bongiorno, stories by Stuart Bailey, Kevin K. Beentjes, and Corey Carter, and art by Alex Maciel and Jonathan Smith, this is a can't-miss journey through the wild aptemporal realm of Apeiron!

Check it out here!

Umbra Ultima, by the excellent Jonathan Smith.
