Kameron Hurley on her eponymous site previews all the forthcoming Bel Dame Apocrypha/God’s War goodness for 2018.

GOD’S WAR, the first book of the Bel Dame Apocrypha/God’s War Trilogy has been out of print since late last year. The publisher is re-issuing the books in mmp with updated, streamlined covers – just in time for the launch of the new story collection, APOCALYPSE NYX!

Because Nyx really is the hero we need right now.

Yes, 2018 is THE YEAR OF ALL THINGS NYX, MY FRIENDS. REJOICE.

WORDS IN INK’s Most Anticipated 2018 Sci-Fi & Fantasy Releases includes both Hurley’s APOCALYPSE NYX and Peter Watts’ THE FREEZE-FRAME REVOLUTION.

Paul Robichaux enjoys Michael Swanwick’s NOT SO MUCH SAID THE CAT.

I adore everything I’ve ever read by Michael Swanwick. I’m not sure how I missed this collection of short stories before but it’s superb.

The author of the first article to ever win a Hugo Award (“We Have Always Fought” 2014), Kameron Hurley also won another Hugo (Best Fan Writer 2014), 2 BFA (The God’s War [2011] and The Geek Feminist Revolution [2016]), and been a finalist for the Arthur C. Clarke and Nebula Awards.

The Bel Dame Apocrypha/God’s War Trilogy, which introduced the popular Nyx, began with God’s War, concluded with Infidel (2011) and Rapture (2012). Hurley followed up that series with the epic fantasy series, the Worldbreaker Saga, which includes The Mirror Empire (2014), Empire Ascendant (2015), and The Broken Heavens (forthcoming). Her space opera, The Stars are Legion, was published in February 2017.

Hurlery’s nonfiction has appeared in numerous online venues, including The Atlantic, Bitch Magazine, Huffington Post, The Village Voice, LA Weekly, and Entertainment Weekly. She writes a regular column for Locus Magazine. Many of her essays were collected in The Geek Feminist Revolution.

Her short fiction has graced the pages of many magazines such as Popular Science Magazine, Lightspeed, Vice Magazine’s Terraform, EscapePod, and Strange Horizons, as well as anthologies such as The Lowest Heaven, The Mammoth Book of SF Stories by Women, Year’s Best SF and Meeting Infinity. Her stories have been collected in Brutal Women (2010) and the forthcoming APOCALYPSE NYX.

All of us at Tachyon wish the amazing Kameron a happy birthday. May you long chronicle tales of blood, bugs, and brutal women!
