DSTLRY has named Bryce Gold Head of New Talent in addition to his current title of Director of Operations. In his new role, Gold will be responsible for reaching out to emerging writers and artists and helping develop their work. His first project is a holiday-themed anthology, Through the Boughs: A Yuletide Offering, which Gold called “a wonderful first step in merging established storytellers with writers and artists who are early in their journey.”
Through the Boughs is a 64-page collection of short stories by James Tynion IV, Patrick McHale, Jim Campbell, Jensine Eckwall, Ryan Andrews, Sweeney Boo, K. Wroten, Grim Wilkins, and Molly Mendoza, co-edited by Gold and Marketing Director Sean Edgar. Many of the creators are doing their first work with DSTLRY. The one-shot anthology will go on sale on December 11, 2024, with an MSRP of $9.99 and covers by Jenn Ely and Natalie Andrewson.
The collection will have a fantasy vibe. “I’ve always been drawn to the strange little stories we like to tell each other in the dead of winter, the strange warmth that comes from the coldest months,” Tynion IV said in a statement. “This book is pure cottage-core, fire-toasted wonder, perfect for anyone who craves the eerie beauty and ancient magic of the frozen season,” added Edgar.
Gold joined DSTLRY in December 2023 (see “Exclusive: Kickstarter’s Bryce Gold Back with Steinberger and Mosher at DSTLRY“).
