EAR CANDY FOR YOUR VALENTINE?
Chocolate melts, flowers fade … but the perfect gift of hours of listening to an award-winning novel read by the author is eternal!
Contents include but not limited to:
__ A Girl with a Sword
__ A Rogues’ Ball
__ Girls kissing Girls
__ Girls kissing Boys
__ Boys kissing Boys
__ A Green Velvet Cloak
__ A Challenge of Honor
__ Some of the characters from Swordspoint—grown older but not much wiser
__ A parrot, at last!
Both The Privilege of the Sword and Swordspoint are available from the Neil Gaiman Presents line of luscious and elegant audiobooks. Both are read by the author, so you can hear what everyone’s really supposed to sound like — with special appearances in TPotS by Felicia Day (as Katherine), Joe Hurley (as the Mad Duke), and Neil Gaiman (as the seductive redhead at the Rogues’ Ball … . )! Narrated by Ellen Kushner & Barbara Rosenblat. New art for the audiobook edition by Tom Canty.
OKAY SO SOMEHOW I MISSED THE PART WHERE FELICIA DAY PLAYS KATHERINE?
IT IS EVEN MORE IMPERATIVE THAT I LISTEN TO THIS BOOK
OK BYE.
PS- I finished listening to Swordspoint. Still loved it at the end. Hurrah.

Quote reblogged from Ellen Kushner with 23 notes
The blood lies on the snow of a formal winter garden, now trampled and muddy. A man lies dead, the snow filling in the hollows of his eyes, while another man is twisted up, grunting, sweating frog-ponds on the frozen earth, waiting for someone to come and help him. The hero of this little tableau has just vaulted the garden wall and is running like mad into the darkness while the darkness lasts.
