From what I understand, the Borderlands book will gather "uncollected interviews from the international press."

There was two Ronald Chetwynd Hayes collections edited by Jones in the 00s that are hard to come by and I thought this might be an omnibus of those but it's a Best Of with lots of new content

This new translation from the French is not really "forthcoming" as it came out last month. But it looks interesting and have just ordered a copy.

THE LAWS OF THE SKIES
By Gregoire Courtois, translated by Rhonda Mullins

Twelve six-year-olds and their three adult chaperones head into the woods on a camping trip. None of them make it out alive. The Laws of the Skies follows the terrified children as they scatter into the night to escape danger, dressed only in their pajamas. They face their darkest childhood fears and new imaginary threats, like trolls masquerading as boulders and child-eating tree trunks.

A harrowing story of those days in the woods, of illness, poisoning, and accidents; of a love triangle among tots; a pint-sized hero; and a child on a murderous rampage that comes to a grisly end. Part fairy tale, part horror story, this macabre fable takes us through the minds of all the members of this doomed part, murderers and murdered alike.

...............

REVIEWS:

"The Laws of the Skies takes its title from a fable told within its pages, about a mouse who learns to fly, becoming a bat -- and who is subsequently attacked and blinded by vengeful birds. That description suggests a sharp turn from whimsy to menace, and it serves as a model for the novel as a whole. From the outset, we know that this tale of lost children will not have a happy ending, but the bleakness in store for these characters still has plenty of room to unnerve.” -- Tobias Carroll, Words Without Borders Daily

"The French know how to push horror’s boundaries, and Courtois is no exception. In this sliver of a novel, he gradually picks off his cast, mounting tension by juxtaposing horrific action with the children’s innocence and an innocuous setting… Courtois’ expertly orchestrated decimation melds into a brutal whole that leaves the reader shaken, though its final images will prove unshakable.” -- Booklist, starred review

“The ensuing story has a whiff of allegory: adults abandon their charges, classmates turn against classmates, and nature, quite literally, swallows them up. It’s unsettling. Along the way, Courtois raises pointed questions about the environment, the hereditary nature of evil, and the responsibilities of an older generation to the new. I felt absolutely nauseated by the end, and I have to admire that―it’s not every day that a book provokes such a strong physical reaction in me.” -- Rhian Sasseen, The Paris Review Staff Picks

“Excellent...crystalline." -- New York Times Book Review, "Summer Reads"

Re: Forthcoming Books
 

Was interested in Terry Dowling because he was one of the few authors Jack Vance wrote an introduction for (a young one too, considering Vance did not keep up with the genre) and Harlan Ellison interviewed him on television, championed him.
But the Tom Rynosseros series is the hardest to buy series I've ever come across, the first easy enough to find but the third and fourth are rare as ####. So this news was welcome...

Will surely be expensive but I'm probably going to go for this.

Re: Forthcoming Books
 

I saw the announcement on Terry's website but I couldn't find on the PS website preorder info. Just wanted to see if I was looking in the wrong place.

I saw the news on their mailing list emails but nothing on their site yet.

Fire n Blood
 

Too rich for my blood.
Too be honest, I don't read this author any longer, nor this series.
But for those who do -

George R R Martin's: Fire And Blood (Subterranean)

Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones, House Targaryen—the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria—took up residence on Dragonstone. Fire & Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart.

What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why was it so deadly to visit Valyria after the Doom? What were Maegor the Cruel’s worst crimes? What was it like in Westeros when dragons ruled the skies? These are but a few of the questions answered in this essential chronicle, as related by a learned maester of the Citadel and featuring more than eighty all-new black-and-white illustrations by artist Doug Wheatley. Readers have glimpsed small parts of this narrative in such volumes as The World of Ice & Fire, but now, for the first time, the full tapestry of Targaryen history is revealed.

And I just heard about the continuation of Weird Tales. I not that familiar with Jonathan Maberry but I'm not sure I'll dig his vision for it. Doesn't matter that much since Weirdbook, Skelos, Beneath Ceaseless Skies and Tales From Magician's Skull are all in the same vein.
