Jeff VanderMeer has announced the ToC (thus far) of the bestiary anthology he and Ann are putting together:

Counsellor Crow – Karen Lord
Daydreamer by Proxy – Dexter Palmer
Enkantong-bato – Dean Francis Alfar
Figmon – Michael Cisco
Guest – Brian Conn
Hadrian’s Sparrikan – Stephen Graham Jones
Ible – Brian Evenson
Jason Bug – Joseph Nigg
Mosquito Boy – Felix Gilman
Pyret – Karin Tidbeck

Xaratan – Rhys Hughes
Yakshantariksh – Vandana Singh
Zee – Richard Howard

Uber-squeeeeee!!!

Jeff also tantalises readers by revealing: It’s in an A-Z format, all-originals, but will also include some surprises—like an invisible letter, a 27th letter, and a secret appearance by a Special Guest. Heh. We should have several more to announce shortly, including from Leena Krohn, Reza Negarestani, Cat Valente, Micaela Morrissette, and Rochita Loenin-Ruiz.

The whole project is so exciting, I may even dance a jig to weird birdman’s ear-nose-flute music!
