It seems pretty decent for the quality that you get, with 3 novels + 2 novellas at the $5 minimum basic level, and for the $12 top-tier, an extra 3 novels + 1 novella with bonus short stories in it.

Also, the current Humble Book Bundle Made with Kickstarter has added a few more sfnal text titles to its mainly GN content, and is now up to 3 anthologies of assorted steampunk, paranormal noir crime, and sfnal crowdfunding stories (the latter edited by John Joseph Adams of Night Shade & Prime Books), the previously-mentioned fantasy trilogy & sci-fi thriller novel, and 2 YA-looking fantasy novels as well.

Isn't the phrase 'Literary Fantasy' similar to 'Military Intelligence'? They're so dissimilar!

--- Oh, OK: I'll go take a look. If I find a sentence without a verb, then the book better be by Jose Saramago or Cormac McCarthy - two of my favorite writers, by the way!


If you want to read LITERARY Fantasy, read anything by JONATHAN CARROLL. He's one of the best writers out there, in my opinion.
