Limited edition of Daniel A. Rabuzzi's The Choir Boats available for pre-order

Publisher Brett Alexander Savory tells us that ChiZine Publications is now taking orders for the signed, limited edition hardcover release of Daniel A. Rabuzzi's The Choir Boats. The book is ChiZine's fourth title and first dark fantasy novel.

The 300-page volume will be released in August, in a print-run limited to only those ordering by 23 May 2009. The $50 book can be ordered from this Horror Mall page. All of the books will be signed by Rabuzzi, as well as by the cover artist and interior illustrator, Erik Mohr and Deborah Mills.

ChiZine Publications describes the book: "When emissaries from a world called Yount offer merchant Barnabas McDoon a chance to redeem himself, he accepts their price—to voyage to Yount with the key that only he can use to unlock the door to their prison. But bleak forces seek to stop him: Yount's jailer, a once-human wizard who craves his own salvation, kidnaps Barnabas's nephew. A fallen angel—a monstrous owl with eyes of fire—will unleash Hell if Yount is freed. And, meanwhile, Barnabas's niece, Sally, and a mysterious pauper named Maggie seek with dream-songs to wake the sleeping goddess who may be the only hope for Yount and Earth alike."
