A press release from Emma Pulitzer of Open Road Media:

Jonathan Carroll. Edward Whittemore. Robert R. McCammon. James Morrow. All of these authors have written novels that defy our understanding of conventional genres. More than just literary fiction, these novels rejoice in the fantastic and the sublime.

Since their initial publication, many of these stories have been categorized as science fiction, fantasy, magical realism, and “other.”

This week, Open Road Media is celebrating these tales of the in-between. Novels that, for one reason or another, refuse to be categorized.

We encourage you to take a look at the ten ebooks we’ve selected and expand your conception of genre fiction. The titles with the asterisk* will be on sale for $3.99 or less until August 20^th.

1. The Summer Isles* by Ian R. MacLeod

2. From the Teeth of Angels by Jonathan Carroll

3. Black Light by Elizabeth Hand

4. Sinai Tapestry* by Edward Whittemore

5. The Eighth Square* by Herbert Lieberman

Cross genre boundaries and join the conversation this week. Feel free to share your thoughts on your site, or contribute to ours. Even our authors are speaking out. “The real reason I write across genre lines,” explains Stephen Graham Jones,” “is because I want to see cool stuff.”

We hope you do, too.
