from Raincoast Books:
Dear readers,
So we’ve had to say a fond farewell to Newsletter Norah here at Raincoast.
Ms. Perkins, the keeper of the Raincoast e-mail list this year, has gone to make her fortune with Canongate Books in bonny Scotland. So for one month only (fingers crossed!), you will have to put up with me, Digital Dan.
But what we may lack in the e-mail wit, charm and sophistication department this month, we more than make up for with some great books.
September sees the much-anticipated release of the hilarious Quirk Classic Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters and we’re previewing the very cool Zombies: A Record of the Year of Infection by Seattle-based writer and filmmaker Don Roff, released in early October!
Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters

Quirk Books ISBN 978-1-59474-442-6

From the folks who brought you Pride and Prejudice and Zombies comes a new tale of romance, heartbreak… and tentacled mayhem.

The year is 2011, and what starts as a pervasive and inexplicable illness ends up as a zombie plague that devastates the world’s population.
Taking the form of a biologist’s illustrated journal unearthed in the aftermath of the outbreak, this gruesome tale of zombie apocalypse follows narrator Dr. Robert Twombly as he heads north to Canada to watch the hockey… no wait… “where he hopes the undead will be slowed by the colder climate”. Ha.
Braaainss…
