Editorial Director Patrick Nielsen Hayden has announced that Tor Books’s new web site, Tor.com will resume “giving away selected e-books.” The catch is that they’ll be available only to registered users of the site. He’ll be offering more details (on the site) next week.
Tor.com also continues to publish free fiction. The newest entry is “The Girl Who Sang Rose Madder” by Elizabeth Bear (with art by Brad Holland). In the future, there’s “Catch ‘Em In the Act” by Terry Bisson scheduled, more “A Softer World” comic strips by Joel Comeau and Emily Horne, and plans to launch another strip series.
