Boston, MA – September 10, 2024 – Ruadán Books announces the publication date, preorder availability and the table of contents for their first original anthology: Winter in the City. 

The anthology, co-edited by founder R. B. Wood and Anna Koon, explores dark tales set in cities around the world.

“Having grown up in New York and lived in cities in Europe, South America, and the Middle East, I’ve always had a fascination with cities,” says Wood. “What Anna and I do with this anthology is bring to life the uniqueness and the complexities of cities from around the world. In many ways, cities are characters in these stories—whether for good  or for bad is for the reader to explore.”

Winter in the City will release December 10th 2024, and will be available for purchase at fine retailers and online stores. Pre-orders are available now at www.ruadanbooks.com.
