St. Nick by way of the undead… Brought to you by the fabulously talented (and creatively deranged) Seanan McGuire, winner of this year’s Campbell Award, aka Mira Grant, the author of Feed and Deadline, amazing books that you really must read. And if you have already read Feed then you know that, and I know you’re buying like 10 copies to pass along as holiday presents! Enjoy! Below is a link to a jpeg version, suitable for making into ecards, facebook links, wallpapers, etc. and a pdf set up for printing letter-size. ENJOY!

I have to admit, one of the perks of working in the Art Department is never having to look hard for wonderful things to adorn your walls. I admit I have been printing out an extra copy or two of these Loot prints to decorate my office, and I’m definitely making room for this fabulous Leviathan Wakes art by Daniel Dociu.
Enter for a chance to win this art print on fancy glossy paper by signing up after the jump! We’ll choose one winner on Wednesday, December 22nd.

More Epic Loot today from the Art Department, and it’s a good one! Like Brent Weeks? Like the Night Angel Trilogy? (The Way of Shadows, Shadow’s Edge, and Beyond the Shadows)? Well how about a schnazzy mashup of all three epic Calvin Chu-illustrated covers?
Printed on glossy high-quality art paper, this one is definitely suitable for framing. Sign up after the jump for a chance to win it! We’ll select one winner on Wednesday, December 22.

Greg Bear’s HULL ZERO THREE is the talk of the web this morning.
First off, Paul DiFilippo at The Speculator at the Barnes & Noble Review, discussing the types of science fiction represented in 2010, selects HULL as exemplary of Hardcore SF, noting that “Greg Bear is one contemporary master of the old ways, and in Hull Zero Three he gives the generation starship theme—crystallized beautifully by Robert Heinlein in 1941′s ‘Universe’—a vigorous makeover.”
At NPR.org, Glen Weldon picks HULL as one of 2010′s Most Transporting Books, noting that “Bear is a pro who knows his way around a starship’s bulkhead and keeps the narrative taut and suspenseful. Importantly, he leavens his hero’s grim steel-and-space ordeal with flashes of lyrical language and imagery.”
And last but far from least, iTunes/iBooks has chosen HULL as one of its Best Science Fiction & Fantasy titles of the year.
Congratulations Greg! And if you haven’t yet read HULL ZERO THREE (or given it as a Holiday gift), well…

Epic Loot 2: Win Poster-Size Prints of FEED and DEADLINE!
I have been very pleased to hear how much people have been loving the covers for Mira Grant (aka Seanan McGuire)’s Feed and Deadline. A few people have even asked for posters, how flattering. So today’s Epic Loot is a fancy art print of both covers, to adorn your bedroom, bathroom, secret lab, etc. printed on super glossy art paper. Totally suitable for framing…and thank you to Art Director Kirk Benshoff for modeling them...
UPDATE! This contest is now closed.
