Welcome to The Jewish Manticore
Welcome!
Since supply chain issues have pushed back my debut many times by now, and since I'm just not built for Twitter (it's my own weakness), this newsletter is the best way to keep up with the evolving release dates of my novels.
I'll also use it to highlight other writing or events of mine that pop up, and soon I'll explain why "Jewish Manticore" in the first place. (Basically, antisemitism is bad; monsters are good.)
If you're interested in more essays or writing from me here, just let me know! If you don't want this newsletter to be anything but periodic updates, let me know that instead!
My Favorite Bit
On Mary Robinette Kowal's website, I got to write about what I loved in my own book. So: tawdry revenge and themes of disappointing one's family.
My Favorite Bit: Elijah Kinch Spector Talks About KALYNA THE SOOTHSAYER
Kalyna the Soothsayer is out October 4! We hope!
Publishing is—I don't mind telling you—a small numbers game, and every pre-order really counts.
Pre-Order on IndieBound | Pre-Order on Bookshop
You can also request Soothsayer from a local indie bookstore (my personal preference) or from your library.
Naturally, I'd also love for you to suggest the book to any friends/acquaintances/enemies who might enjoy weird, sad, funny, and exciting stories. (Maybe even if they're not into fantasy?)
Thank you so much! More to come,
Elijah Kinch Spector
