SYNOPSIS: Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) is nearing the end of his contract with Lunar. He`s been a faithful employee for 3 long years. His home has been Selene, a moon base where he has spent his days alone, mining Helium 3. The precious gas holds the key to reversing the Earth`s energy crisis. Isolated, determined and steadfast, Sam has followed the rulebook obediently and his time on the moon has been enlightening, but uneventful. The solitude has given him time to reflect on the mistakes of his past and work on his raging temper. But 2 weeks shy of his departure from Selene, Sam starts seeing things, hearing things and feeling strange. And when a routine extraction goes horribly wrong, he discovers that Lunar have their own plans for replacing him and the new recruit is eerily familiar. Before he can return to Earth, Sam has to confront himself and the discovery that the life he has created, may not be his own. It`s more than his contract that is set to expire.

A good friend and former owner of Nebula Books has a new collection of stories being released in a few months.

Objects of Worship is the debut collection by Aurora Award nominee Claude Lalumière, editor of Tesseracts Twelve and Island Dreams.

Objects of Worship harbours 12 strange tales of monsters, gods, superheroes, bizarre adventures, weird worlds, and startling visions of Montreal's future.

The book has an introduction by World Fantasy Award winner James Morrow. Interior illustrations are by Rupert Bottenberg.

"Claude Lalumière's stories are dark, mordant, precisely formed. His first collection is extraordinarily accomplished in its craft and subversive intent." - Lucius Shepard
"These stories are terrifically creepy." - Christopher Moore

Claude would like you to join him at WorldCon/Anticipation for the advance launch party of the paperback edition. You can also pre-order the signed, limited-edition hardcover, which contains two bonus stories!
Hardcover orders must be placed by late June. For more information, visit ChiZine Publications at: www.chizine.com/chizinepub/books/objects-of-worship.php
