Uh oh

: ellen_datlow; March 2nd, 2009

Games Workshop has apparently put the Solaris imprint, founded by Marc Gascoigne and currently headed by George Mann, up for sale. I hope its bought by someone who cares that they're publishing some fine books (The Solaris Book of Science Fiction series, Nick Gevers' steampunk anthology Extraordinary Engines, lots of non-game related novels --and yes, Poe).

Via Cheryl Morgan who got it from Jenny Rae Rappaport who originally got it from Mark Chadbourn

It's a shame. I really liked their model of publishing original anthologies for mass-market and occasional trade prices rather than jumping on the expensive limited edition bandwagon.

I just hope they aren't closed down if there are no takers.

Uh oh indeed.

And I was really impressed with the Solaris imprint in general (which is a stark contrast to its Black Library imprint which is its more mainstream moneymaker).
