Really not good news: http://angryrobotbooks.com/2014/06/n...and-exhibit-a/

This also affects books that were for all intents and purposes already ready - galleys/ARCs sent out to reviewers, release dates a few weeks from now.

I'm sad as a reader, both because Strange Chemistry put out some of my favourite YA releases of the last couple of years - some of their books missed the mark for me, but I really appreciated how they were willing to experiment and release books that weren't just a collection of currently trendy clichés - and because I've liked the Angry Robot way of publishing for some time now: books that are a little bit off mainstream, no DRM, subscriptions for those who like the idea, and so on. It's a pity to see that at least for their YA and mystery imprints, this approach apparently didn't work well enough.
