Greetings, Denizens of Earth—Middle or otherwise! 

Everything keeps getting awesome-r…and we couldn’t do it without you!

SHOP

Can't make it to our Brooklyn bookstore? We’ve taken vintage virtual! Our online shop has been expanded with over 500 science fiction, fantasy, and vintage pulp titles of every stripe. Whether you're a Trekkie or a Bond girl, singularityshop.com has you covered.

FEATURED ITEM OF THE MONTH: Each newsletter, we’re keeping our eyes (and eye stalks) on a special selection from the Singularity & Co. shop that we think you’d geek out for. This month, we’re putting on the Rocklove Asteroid Necklace: Each pendant is cut from black tourmaline crystals known for their protective qualities—what with recent Russian events involving a fiery projectile from outer space, we think this is the safest way to keep rocking in our free world.

DOOR QUOTE OF THE MONTH: Visitors to our Brooklyn Bookstore will notice that we feature a weekly quote from the greatest minds of sci fi on our chalkboard door. We’re giving you a taste of the blackboard’s best with our Quote of the Month feature!

This month, it’s from Arthur C. Clarke: “Our lifetime may be the last that will be lived out in a technological society.”

Thanks to our beloved Rocketeer Sarah for reminding us that great wisdom just can’t be erased!

PUBLISHING

Our rescue mission continues in March with the publication of Muriel Jaeger's 1927 novel "The Man With Six Senses," originally published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf's Hogarth Press (we’re in good company). In her time at Oxford, Jaeger (1892-1969) was part of "The Mutual Admiration Society," a group of innovative female writers that included the great mystery novelist Dorothy L. Sayers. As a writer exploring the frailty of humanity in the age of science, Jaeger draws a fascinating love triangle between a man of reason, a modern woman and a frail fellow battling that timeless question: What to do when you're in love and struggling with extrasensory mutant powers?

On the event horizon, our next adventure in digital publishing draws Dr. Strangelove parallels with a twist. Originally published at the height of Cold War paranoia, our upcoming e-book release promises "a world gone mad and on the brink of total atomic destruction!" We're so in.

COVER CONTEST ALERT!

One of the things we love about the bookshop is seeing so many stellar covers for a single title. They say as much about their time as they do about the book itself. How would you cover your favorite story if you could? Find out this month as we launch an exciting new contest to create the exclusive digital cover of the Elleander Morning e-book!

Winners will have the choice of a signature Singularity tee or a free yearlong membership to Singularity & Co. digital book club. There’s more: We’re setting up a FEATURED ARTIST space on the Singularity & Co. website to celebrate our visionary audience contributions to sci fi posterity and discover the inspiration behind your artwork.

Your cover could be a part of the future of publishing history—Email us your submissions in JPG or TIFF format (minimum dimensions: 625 X 1000 pixels) to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. by April 1^st, 2013!

EVENTS

This February, we had way too much fun hosting Peter V. Brett's book launch for his fantastical The Daylight War and a celebration of Scott Corvo's dark noir Spiders & Flies. We've hosted book signings and appearances from acclaimed authors, writers and poets like Lois McMaster Bujold, Lev Grossman and Stephen Burt in our shop. Reach out to us on our website and let us know if you want to see someone in the flesh.

Our monthly reading series in collaboration with Tor.com, "I, Reader," saw its most popular night yet with LUST FOR GENRE, bringing out a passionate crowd to hear saucy and scintillating tales. Stop by for the next "I, Reader," which sees genre greats read by contemporary voices in the art of fiction.

We also love to plan events around our readers! Whether it's a movie you're dying to see up on our big screen or your favorite space band performing live from our childrens' book-loft, let us know what entertainment you'd like us to replicate.

We can’t wait to hear from you—even if it’s in Klingon.

 FROM THE OUTER FRONTIER OF PUBLISHING

We just wanted to share the vision of authors we've admired with the world they helped create.  Since we began our digital publishing adventure, we’ve gone to Mars, survived an apocalypse, done intergalactic detective work…

We began 2013 in a world much like our own—with one notable exception.

Singularity & Co.'s latest rescued publication, Jerry Yulsman's daring, time-traveling alternate history Elleander Morning, is a hit with our subscribers. Join the conversation online and let us know what you think of his speculative take on a world where World War II never happened.

Also: Our celebrated, trailblazing digital publishing model gets even radder! With our next release of E.V. Odle’s The Clockwork Man, we’re announcing our partnership with HiLo Books, from the creators of hilobrow.com. We’re psyched for you to discover their unique trove of Radium Age SF rarities (AKA works predating the Golden Age), now in digital and 3-D format (AKA paper). 

EVENTS FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION

See the next generation and join us this Thursday, February 7th at 7 PM at our Brooklyn mothership, 18 Bridge Street in DUMBO, for the exciting release of Broad Spectrum: The Broad Universe Fiction Sampler.

Next week, we're hosting the fantastical worlds of novelist Peter V. Brett's newest work, The Daylight War, on Tuesday, February 12th at 7 PM. 

Celebrate or perish!

We've hosted book signings and appearances from acclaimed authors, writers and poets like Lois McMaster Bujold, Lev Grossman and Stephen Burt in our shop. Reach out to us on our website and let us know if you want to see someone in the flesh.

We love them in person, paper and more: In partnership with scifi and fantasy publisher Tor, we’ve had our wildly popular “I, Reader” nights bring vintage pulp buffs to Brooklyn to have a drink and hear the words on the page like never before. Check out special guest readers and themes throughout the year on our website and join us soon. (We even had flashlights under our chin for a Halloween horror special.)

There’s nowhere else in the universe to find events like our scifi-themed wine tasting nights! We love our neighbors, so we got local wine and spirits shop Blanc & Rouge as our preferred partner for potent potables. Check out the wine label here—it’s French slang for a flying saucer.

Screenings add another dimension to what's on our shelves.

Come to our DUMBO digs for daily doses of classics and kitsch flicks and viewings for cutting-edge films like C, a space thriller with special effects created entirely CGI-free!

Check out the trailer for C here, see coverage on io9 and visit the shop to see the spaceship model here in the chrome.

S&CO

So much going on this month, it's hard to know where to start.  First things first, our November book, Doomed Planet by Lee Sheldon has arrived.  It's a light and dare we say pulpy 1960s outing by Lee Sheldon, better known as C. Wayne Lee, a prolific and interesting writer, whose only scifi novel has been before now better remembered for its iconic original cover artwork than for its text, and which hasn't been re-released since its original publication.  Doomed Planet is a great example of the type of work we set out to help remember; it's something that may not have made it to the future without our help, and we hope you'll enjoy it's campy fun, and the spectacular cover artwork created for it by Wesley Allsbrook. 

Next month's book, a "what-if" alternative history/time travel tale, was an award winner and best seller upon its original release in 1984.  We're really looking forward to bringing it to you.  Now that we're starting to figure out the nuts and bolts of this adventure (quite literally in some respects), we're getting down to the business of trying to track down and work on books suggested by you, our subscribers, and with the traction we've gained over the past few months, we anticipate great success in 2013.  

Perhaps the thing we're most proud of this month is the launch of ScifiBooks.com, our new online shop for Singularity&Co. t-shirts, totes, awesomeness, and most importantly, hand picked vintage SciFi, Fantasy and Pulp.  ScifiBooks.com is a way for those of you that can't make it to our shop in Brooklyn to get some of the best of what we have to offer. It has already been featured on BoingBoing, and after 4 days, seems to be a hit. 

The books we're offering for sale online (Choose Your Own Adventure, anyone?) are specially selected from what we have for sale in the shop, so that you can get excellent condition vintage pulp goodness from anywhere in the world. 

By popular demand, we're also offering gift subscriptions to S&Co, at discounted rates for the holidays.  You can order and redeem them online, or you can choose to have us mail a gift card made from the cover of a Vintage Pulp book that had otherwise reached the end of its life.  

Either way it's the perfect gift for your scifi fan friend friend or loved one. 

We couldn't do any of this without you all. Than you for making this as much fun for us as we hope it is for you!
