Book Description:

A magical collection of ten short stories by an amazing list of contributors—all of whom will be in attendance at Brandon Sanderson's Dragonsteel Nexus 2024!

In 2013, a newly-launched Grim Oak Press published Unfettered: The Phoenix Comicon Exclusive, an edition of the award-winning anthology that only featured short stories by authors who were attending that convention. It resulted in an anthology that people could buy and get multi-signed by Terry Brooks, Kevin Hearne, Peter Orullian, Brandon Sanderson, and Shawn Speakman. It is now regarded by collectors as one of the most difficult Grim Oak Press books to find.

Now with Grimoire, Grim Oak Press has revived that idea for Brandon Sanderson's amazing convention, Dragonsteel Nexus 2024, creating a new anthology of exciting tales. Read a magical realism story about visiting Robert Jordan's home by Jason Denzel. Discover how superhero teams recruit new talent with Fonda Lee. Learn the price that a husband is willing to pay to keep his wife safe by Zack Argyle. Fight the dangers lurking within as well as beneath Seattle alongside Kat Ogden. Embrace angels as age catches up to us with Robin Hobb.

Here is the line-up of contributing authors and the titles of their stories:

• The Shadowed Blade by J. A. Andrews
• Five Silver Rings by Zack Argyle
• Finding Robert Jordan* by Jason Denzel
  
• Harbinger by Robin Hobb
• Welcome to the Legion of Six* by Fonda Lee
• The Season of the Dead Girl by Kat Ogden
• The Sound of Broken Absolutes* by Peter Orullian
• The Dragon and the Steel by Shawn Speakman
• Traditions* by Michael J. Sullivan
• A Taste of Flesh by Eldon Thompson

The * denotes stories previously published but not in print elsewhere.

For those of you attending the convention, you'll be able to buy the inaugural Grimoire and have it multi-signed by the ten writers as well as cover artist Donato Giancola. In that way, it will become a beautiful memory of meeting these fine individuals as well as assembling a multi-signed keepsake.

GRIMOIRE FAQ

Question: What about Brandon Sanderson? He's an attending author at Dragonsteel Nexus 2024 and surely you want a story from him too?

Answer: Of course, we would love to have a short story from Brandon. He has said no though.

Question: I'm not able to attend Dragonsteel Nexus 2024 but I want Grimoire. How can I get a copy?

Answer: The Grim Oak Press warehouse will be shipped copies for exactly this reason. Pre-order your copy now from this page by selecting SHIP TO ME and have it mailed after Dragonsteel Nexus 2024. These will only be signed by Shawn Speakman, Robin Hobb, Peter Orullian, Zack Argyle and Kat Ogden.

Question: I'm attending Dragonsteel Nexus 2024. Can I pre-order Grimoire from you now to guarantee my copy and then pick the book up from the Grim Oak booth at the con?

Answer: Yes, you can do it right from this product page and save on shipping! Be sure to select DRAGONSTEEL PICK UP.

Question: I'm attending Dragonsteel Nexus 2024. What happens if I miss out on the convention for some reason and I can't pick up my book?

Answer: After the convention is over, we will ship your book back to our Seattle-area warehouse and, if you want the book, we will invoice you for shipping.

Question: Are you planning on doing other Grimoire anthologies at future conventions that Grim Oak Press will exhibit at, like Grimoire: Emerald City Comic Con 2025 or Seattle Worldcon 2025?

Answer: If Grimoire: Tales from Dragonsteel Nexus 2024 sells well, we will certainly look into doing more of them. There's just something special about a multi-signed book and these sorts of anthologies will help pay for Grim Oak Press to exhibit at other conventions.
