Erik Mona of Paizo Publishing told SCI FI Wire that the company's new imprint, Planet Stories, aims to bring classic fantasy and science fiction adventure stories to a new generation of readers.
Planet Stories will launch in August with The Anubis Murders by Dungeons & Dragons co-creator Gary Gygax, Mona said. "[It's] an exciting fantasy-mystery-adventure set in an alternate version of our own world around the time of the Dark Ages," Mona said. "It features the exploits of Setne Inhetep, philosopher-wizard to the pharaoh of ancient Egypt, amateur detective and inveterate troublemaker."
"Most of them are of historical importance to the genre, as in the case of C.L. Moore's 'Jirel of Joiry' stories, which feature the first significant female sword-and-sorcery protagonist by one of the earliest and most important female writers in the field."
