Top New York publisher BehemothCo and Book View Cafe have announced today that they are merging.  Recognizing the business success of the spunky author-run publishing co-op, which just last month added an Oregon Book Award winner, a Nebula nominee, and an accomplished cat herder to its laurels, BehemothCo has announced that it will now sell all books DRM-free, increase its ebook royalties to authors to 75% after setup costs are realized, and will require all newly acquired authors to learn to tat lace, crochet anemones, or knit squids.

When asked about the rumors of a hostile takeover bid by Engulf + Devour, the CEO of BehemothCo chambered a round in his shotgun and said: “No comment.”
