New Humble Bundle is up, and it's an excellent offering for:
Humble Book Bundle Super Nebula Showcase presented by SFWA, chock-full of assorted works by the members of the Science Fiction Writers of America, which were nominated for or won the SFWA's annual Nebula Awards, or by authors who were, mostly from sfnal specialty small presses Small Beer, Tachyon, Prime, WordFire (imprint of Star Wars tie-in novelist Kevin J. Anderson), Night Shade, Subterranean, and others, with a sprinkling of backlist works picked up by Open Road Media and adaptations by comics publisher IDW.
Fixed tiers of $1, $8, $15, and $20, with fiction, non-fiction, and graphic novels from many writers you'll recognize such as George R. R. Martin, the late Octavia E. Butler, Harlan Ellison, comic book stories in tribute to the late Ray Bradbury (author of this month's MR Book Club selection
Fahrenheit 451, in case you wanted to join in on the discussion), Neil Gaiman, Isaac Asimov, Nancy Kress, Connie Willis, Nnedi Okorafor, Martha Wells, Mary Robinette Kowal, Adam Troy-Castro (I've always liked what I read of his short stories and he offers a collection in this), John Scalzi, and many more.
I've read the Nebula-winning Elizabeth Ann Scarborough novel in this from a long-ago Fictionwise purchase, which
was pretty good, IMHO. And I have a paper copy of the Jane Yolen collection, which is also quite good, IIRC. And the Nancy Kress collection which I bought years ago is also up to her usual standard of “very good indeed” if you like consequences of genetic engineering-type stories.
Several titles are repeats from previous small press sfnal bundles and publisher discount offers, but it's well worth it, and an auto-buy for me at the top tier, even though I think I already own about a 3rd of it in one form or another.
And there's also a freebie offer for a Android/iDevice app loaded with 31 short stories from the 2016 Nebula nominees.
