Letters to the Pumpkin King
by Seanan McGuire
NESFA Press is pleased to announce the Boskone 51 Guest of Honor book, Letters to the Pumpkin King by Seanan McGuire. This is a limited edition of eight hundred copies, of which one hundred forty are autographed and slipcased.
This is the first collection of Seanan McGuire’s non-fiction works. It contains essays taken from McGuire’s various blogs as well as poetry reprinted from her two out-of-print, limited-edition, self-published chapbooks, Leaves from the Babylon Wood and Paths Through the Babylon Wood, and has introductions by Catherynne M. Valente and Elizabeth Bear. The essay topics range from “My Little Pony” and being a geek girl to her advice on writing and things she’s learned since becoming a published author, and showcase the breadth of her writing and interests. A must for the avid McGuire enthusiast.
“Seanan McGuire knows how to beguile with the very best. She can whisper spells and secrets by the ballad and the bushel. But here she simply tells it as she has seen and lived it, with bravery and a loud voice, and that is magic, too.” —Catherynne M. Valente, author of The Girl Who Soared Over Fairyland and Cut the Moon in Two.
“Seanan is rough and potent magic. Her work may not change you, but it is likely to change your experience of the world.” —Elizabeth Bear, author of Steles of the Sky
The book has a full color cover by the Boskone 51 Official Artist David Palumbo. The book dust jacket was designed by Alice N. S. Lewis and Sheila Perry.
The book was edited by Sheila Perry.
