Rudy Rucker's new imprint launches with his complete short stories

Rudy Rucker has launched his own press, Transreal Press, and has inaugurated it with a massive single-volume collection of his complete short stories and a reissue of his long out-of-print steampunk classic The Hollow Earth. There's also a drool-worthy list of upcoming titles, including his complete essays, complete paintings, his journals, and much more.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Not available except from budding monopolist Amazon…

The motive on that cover really confuses me.

The Hollow Earth is awesome. I found a like-new copy on paperbackswap.com and devoured it. It’s very Rudyish but with the Reconstruction-era motif on top of it, it’s unlike any other Rucker novel. I’ve read most of the stories but I’m pretty sure I’ll pick up the collection, at least to support Rudy’s work. I hope he publishes new material on this imprint and does well.

Interesting picture on the lower half of the jacket. Surely Rucker has creative enough friends that he could have found someone to re-design the upper half. That block of blue at the top and white raised text looks like it was done in MS Paint. It looks like a cheap self-print and reflects poorly on the creative contents inside.

the cover image is a mash-up/rip-off/hom-age of Philip Guston (google him – excellent, brilliant, difficult painter) and maybe a little starry night by van gogh as done by a little girl.

Regrettable cover. Can’t see how it would reflect well upon Guston’s paintings or Rucker’s writings.
