Omniboz Oz Anthology Cover Reveal

Jendia Gammon

Presenting the wonderful cover for our Oz themed anthology, Omniboz: Tales from the Land of Oz, first announced in March 2025 and will soon open for crowdfunding here on Indiegogo! Co-edited by Jendia Gammon and Ernie Chiara. Set in the worlds invented by L. Frank Baum, Omniboz is scheduled to publish on his birthday on May 15. Help us reach our crowdfunding goals in our limited campaign!

We are so ecstatic to partner with Oz artist and writer Eric Shanower (AGE OF BRONZE) for this exquisite cover featuring both heroes and villains from Baum’s Oz.

Here is the fabulous front cover for the book:

Stories Light and (Sometimes Very) Dark!

Omniboz: Tales from the Land of Oz leans into both the fantastical and uplifting parts of L. Frank Baum’s Oz universe, as well as veering into darker, scarier elements… including one truly spooky and gory tale by Hugo Award winning author Adrian Tchaikovsky, who is also a contributor to our cross-genre Of Shadows, Stars, and Sabers! The book contains a partition page signaling the shift to edgier tales. This is not considered a children’s book, for that reason. But earlier in the book, the tone is lighter and even humorous. I (Jendia Gammon) and my co-editor, Ernie Chiara, have both contributed stories as well.

Contributing authors: Adrian Tchaikovsky, Eric Shanower, Helen Glynn Jones, Patrick Barb, Ernie Chiara, Dennis K. Crosby, J.R. Dawson, Jendia Gammon, Nicole Field, Vincent V. Cava, and Jeannie Warner.
