SF Signal: Wastelands: Free Stories and Trailer

Wastelands: Free Stories and Trailer

John Joseph Adams has posted six stories from his cool anthology, Wastelands: Stories of the Apocalypse, at the book's website:

"And the Deep Blue Sea" by Elizabeth Bear
"Bread and Bombs" by M. Rickert
"When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth" by Cory Doctorow
"The Last of the O-Forms" by James Van Pelt
"Still Life With Apocalypse" by Richard Kadrey
"Waiting for the Zephyr" by Tobias S. Buckell

And then there's the book trailer. I'm not sure how effective book trailers are, but they seem to be becoming more prevalent. I have yet to see a trailer that is more than just a glorified print ad that takes me more time to watch than it would to read. What publishers really need to do is produce a full-blown, professionally endorsed commercial, released on YouTube instead of TV. I'd buy a book that William Shatner says I should buy. Unless he wrote it, of course. Hiyo!
