New Humble Bundle this week, and it's for:
Humble Book Bundle Prime Sci-Fi Fantasy, featuring a whole bunch of (mostly anthology) titles from publisher Prime Books (
Wikipedia), including things edited by Ellen Datlow and a few volumes of Rich Horton's Year's Best (Genre), featuring reprinted stories by Nancy Kress, Ursula K. Le Guin, George R. R. Martin, and more, with the SFWA cookbook featuring recipes by sfnal authors at the top tier.
The price is fluctuating a lot on this one, but so far it's under $8 for more-than-average (extra books to be added next week), and $15 for the top tier.
Contents as follows:
Quote:
Pay what you want for Obsession: Tales of Irresistible Desire, One-Eyed Jack, Digital Domains: A Decade of Science Fiction and Fantasy, and Word Puppets.
Pay more than the average price to also receive Mermaids and Other Mysteries of the Deep, The Year’s Best Science & Fantasy Novellas: 2015, The Year’s Best Dark Fantasy & Horror: 2015, New Cthulhu 2: More Recent Weird, and Witches: Wicked, Wild & Wonderful.
Pay $15 or more for all of that plus Ad Astra: The 50th Anniversary SFWA Cookbook, The Year’s Best Science Fiction & Fantasy: 2015, and Warrior Women.

This is pretty much an auto-buy for me. I like themed anthologies which have a mix of classic reprints and new stuff, and I'm a sucker for odd "professional" cookbooks.
For the next month or so, StoryBundle is offering:
The 2015 Holiday Fantasy Bundle, featuring appropriately-themed festive Chrismanukkwanzaa offerings curated by Star Wars tie-in novelist Kevin J. Anderson. This is a mix of straightforward fantasy and fantastic kids books with a few books with romantic elements in them, including works by Jody Lynn Nye (
ISFDB,
Wikipedia) and Tracy & Laura Hickman of that Dragonlance franchise, plus two previously-published Baen anthologies.
$5 minimum gets you 6 titles (2 anthologies, 2 single-author collections, 2 novels).
$15 top tier gets you an additional 5 titles (2 novellas, it looks like, 1 single-author collection featuring stories about all holidays and not just the winter ones, 1 anthology, and 1 kids book which may be illustrated)
