I need to take a moment today to promote a new anthology which includes work by my dear friend Tracie Welser. The Thackery T. Lambshead Cabinet of Curiosities: Exhibits, Oddities, Images, and Stories promises to be an intriguing read. The book is a sequel to 2005's The Thackery T. Lambshead Pocket Guide to Eccentric and Discredited Diseases. Amazon has this hardcover book listed for a great price follow the link at the bottom to pop over and pick one up. In addition, here is Tracie's post about it on her blog.
From the Amazon listing:
All-new stories and art from the doctor's wondrous collection
After the death of Dr. Thackery T. Lambshead at his house in Wimpering-on-the-Brook, England, a remarkable discovery was unearthed: the remains of an astonishing cabinet of curiosities. Many of these artifacts, curios, and wonders related to anecdotes and stories in the doctor's personal journals. Others, when shown to the doctor's friends, elicited further tales from a life like no other.
Thus, in keeping with the bold spirit exemplified by Dr. Lambshead and his exploits, we now proudly present highlights from the doctor's cabinet, reconstructed not only through visual representations but also through exciting stories of intrigue and adventure.
A carefully selected group of popular artists and acclaimed, bestselling authors has been assembled to bring this cabinet of curiosities to life.
