Limited edition Robert J. Wiersema short story collection from spunky small press

Brett sez,

his is a link where fans of national bestseller Robert J. Wiersema (author of BEFORE I WAKE, Random House, 2006) can pick up his new novella, THE WORLD MORE FULL OF WEEPING, releasing September 15 through small press start-up ChiZine Publications. (Quite a coup for a little Canadian press like us!)

The signed, limited edition hardcover will be available for pre-order only until the end of August, then that's it — however many are ordered is the number that will be printed.

We think BB readers will be interested in this because Rob's debut novel, BEFORE I WAKE, was a bestseller, and was named to many periodicals' top 100 lists for 2006. They'll also be interested because this will be Rob's only release until his second (gigantic doorstop of a) novel through Random House in 2010. So for those jonesing for new Wiersema, this haunting little novella will have to tide them over until late next year.
