The Castalia House Blog is pleased to spotlight exciting new projects in independent, pulp, and web novel-influenced science fiction and fantasy.

Cirsova Publishing is excited to announce that it will be publishing Adrian Cole’s Dream Lords saga in a collected edition for its 50^th Anniversary.

The Dream Lords represented Adrian Cole’s debut in his long and incredibly prolific career in science fiction and fantasy. The Dream Lords was originally published in single volume format through Zebra Books, with A Plague of Nightmares and Lord of Nightmares appearing in 1975 and the finale, Bane of Nightmares, released in 1976.

This new edition collects all three Dream Lords novels in omnibus for the first time, revised and with new foreword to the series.

Cirsova Publishing has been publishing Adrian Cole’s new Dream Lords in its flagship magazine since 2016, and this anniversary omnibus will precede Dream Lords: Legacy, a first-ever collection of this new material.

The Dream Lords 50^th Anniversary Omnibus will be available through Kickstarter, launching 10/1/24, in both hardcover and paperback. [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cirsova/the-dream-lords-50th-anniversary-omnibus]
