Over the years, we have seen the sorts of non-book merchandise packages that sometimes get sent out alongside advance copies of books.

We thought we would try it for ourselves.

"The real crime, Boullosa seems to argue, is not the mere act of stealing, but how theft becomes enshrined into law and then retroactively justified."

The winner is Eve Hill-Agnus' translation of Ultramarine by Mariette Navarro. Coming from @deepvellum.bsky.social

This is an award that specifically funds a translation, the book is coming in March and it looks extremely up my alley as a sea-themed spooky SFF novel.

To keep up with industry trends, all 2025 Deep Vellum titles will now feature SPRAYED EDGES in an absolutely gorgeous custom color that we call “paper” 🥰😍
