Ruadán Books announces the publication date, cover, preorder availability and the table of contents for their third original anthology: Spring in the City.

BOSTON, MA, UNITED STATES, June 23, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Ruadán Books announces the publication date, preorder availability and the table of contents for their third original anthology: Spring in the City.

The anthology, co-edited by founder R. B. Wood and Anna Koon, explores dark tales set in cities around the world as spring arrives and they burst into bloom, creating ever darker shadows.

The colorful yet sinister cover design by Kip Ayers highlights this dichotomy.

“Living in New England, the onset of spring is always welcome in Boston,” says founder and editor R. B. Wood. “But what if the life that starts anew in the season is darker and hungrier than the crocuses and returning robins? This is what our authors explore in our second ‘…in the City’ anthology.”

Spring in the City will release on December 2nd, 2025, and will be available for order or purchase at book retailers and online stores. Pre-orders will begin on July 1st, 2025 at www.ruadanbooks.com.

Along with featuring multiple award-winning authors, Ruadán Books takes great pride in introducing nine new authors to the world through Spring in the City:
