Kevin's Watch

Leviathan 5: The Next Wave is the revival of the award-winning anthology series edited by Ann and Jeff VanderMeer, and in order to make this one as world-wide as it can be, they are planning to open for foreign language submissions.

In order to do this, though, the anthology needs more funding to pay for translations. Jeff is already donating all royalties from his collection The Third Bear toward the project. If you're interested in supporting a great weird fiction anthology, and helping fantasy readers discover new writers from other countries, here's how to donate:

Our goal is to raise $1,000 in 28 days, to add to the $300 in donations already received. Your name will be listed in the book, and you can donate easily through paypal to vanderworld at hotmail.com or via check to “Jeff VanderMeer”, POB 4248, Tallahassee, FL 32315.

Jeff has also offered a great incentive to donors:

IF we reach the $1,000 goal, I will do an interpretative dance based on the title story in my story collection, “The Third Bear,” which will be taped and put up on YouTube for your enjoyment.
