How lucky do you feel?

So reads the business card from LIMBUS, INC., a shadowy employment agency that operates at the edge of the normal world. LIMBUS’s employees are just as suspicious and ephemeral as the motives of the company, if indeed it could be called a business in the ordinary sense of the word.

Job offers vary greatly in their particulars: one might find anything from a high-level assassination to a seemingly simple cat-sitting job and all the worlds of horror/dark fantasy in between.

In this shared-world anthology, five heavy hitters from the dark worlds of horror, fantasy, and scifi pool their warped take on the shadow organization that offers employment of the most unusual kind to those on the society’s fringe.

Who can say whether the recruiters for LIMBUS, INC. are good guys or bad guys? They might be both. The terms of the jobs offered might be as outrageous as the compensation promised. There may be contingency clauses not obvious to the recruit. The end result of the job may be success or failure, and the contractor may live to seek another assignment, or not.

One thing’s for sure – you’ll never think the same way again about the fine print on your next employment application!

If you were anticipating a novel that will be the talk of 2012, this will be it.

Look for future announcements/updates on the project over the next few months.
