ePub & Mobi Downloads of “A Hole to China” by Catherynne M. Valente

We messed up! The May ebook edition of Lightspeed, which contains Catherynne M. Valente’s story “A Hole to China,” was somehow finalized with a substantial amount of text missing from the end of the story’s second section (“The Ox of Sorrows”). We discovered the error and fixed the web edition before it was published, but our ebook editions had already been sent out into the world. We did fix the ebook edition and upload new versions to all of our vendors, but a number of readers certainly had already downloaded their ebooks, so those folks will have received the version that contained the Valente story with the missing text. You can, of course, read the entire story on our website right now, but since those of you who purchase our ebook editions pay for the convenience of having your stories in ebook format, we wanted to make the full version of Cat’s story available in ePub and Mobi format, so that you can enjoy it as Crom intended. If you’d like to grab the full version of Cat’s story, please download your preferred ebook edition via one of the links below and enjoy. Again, we’re very sorry about the mixup, and we will endeavor to ensure this kind of thing doesn’t happen again!
