TOC: ‘Old Mars’ Edited by George R.R. Martin and Gardner Dozois
George R.R. Martin has posted the table of contents for the upcoming anthology Old Mars he co-edited with Gardner Dozois. It’s just been delivered to the publisher (Bantam), so not much more is known…but here’s what we do know about the anthology gleaned from George’s post:
OLD MARS is a new anthology of science fiction and fantasy stories about Old Mars (not the real post-Mariner Mars, but the one we all loved as kids, with the canals and the dead cities and the various flavors of Martian).
The anthology will feature fifteen original, never-before-published short stories and novelettes, story notes and author intros by Gardner Dozois, and an introduction by George R.R. Martin.
Here’s the table of contents…
- “Martian Blood” by Allen M. Steele
- “The Ugly Duckling” by Matthew Hughes
- “The Wreck Of The Mars Adventure” by David D. Levine
- “Swords Of Zar-tu-kan” by S.M. Stirling
- “Shoals” by Mary Rosenblum
- “In The Tombs Of The Martian Kings” by Mike Resnick
- “Out Of Scarlight” by Liz Williams
- “The Dead Sea-bottom Scrolls” by Howard Waldrop
- “A Man Without Honor” by James S.A. Corey
- “Written In Dust” by Melinda Snodgrass
- “The Lost Canal” by Michael Moorcock
- “The Sunstone” by Phyllis Eisenstein
- “King Of The Cheap Romance” by Joe R. Lansdale
- “Mariner” by Chris Roberson
- “The Queen Of Night’s Aria” by Ian Mcdonald
Hey this will be an interesting companion to the other Mars anthologies out there.
This is a fantastic idea for an anthology. Looking forward to it.
Interesting line-up of writers. I’ll be keen to see what Joe R. Lansdale rustles up for an old school Martian romp.
