Chaosium fiction program returns with Sisterhood

Chaosium fiction line editor James Lowder is very pleased to announce the first release in the newly relaunched Chaosium fiction program, the historical horror anthology Sisterhood: Dark Tales and Secret Histories. The book is now available in ebook and PDF, with print on the way.

"The book had been delayed several times as we rebuilt various support structures within the company, the pandemic scrambled everyone's schedules, and my role in the company expanded from very part-time consultant to fiction editor to executive editor. Everyone connected to Sisterhood has been incredibly patient and we hope you give it a look," said Lowder. "It's a compelling collection and a marvelous book with which to restart our fiction program."

Lowder joined Chaosium in 2015 as consultant, helping the new management team settle fiction debt and then sort out contracts and licenses. He is now the company's executive editor. He had previous directed fiction lines or programs for various publishers, in addition to editing more than twenty anthologies and authoring several bestselling dark fantasy and fantasy novels.

"Next up for the Chaosium fiction line will be the braided Mythos novel The Leaves of a Necronomicon, edited by the late Joe Pulver, and an original Arthurian novel by Chris Gidlow, plus several other major projects we have yet to announce", said Lowder.
