You can get The Silo Series Book Box Set (Paperback) for an impressive price of $22.18 (originally $60).
While we eagerly await the premiere date for Silo Season 3, fans of the acclaimed Apple TV+ dystopian science fiction series have a fantastic opportunity to delve into the original stories in beautiful new formats. The newly released Deluxe Collector’s Edition of Hugh Howey’s best-selling novel Shift is currently available for $32.52 (down from $40), just in time for Prime Big Deal Days promotions. As Season 3 of Silo is expected to adapt Shift, now is the perfect moment to explore this remarkable collection of novellas.
The Silo Series Box Set includes paperback editions of Wool, Shift, and Dust, along with a separate chapbook of Silo short stories. This collection offers approximately 1,700 pages of captivating science fiction, plus some of Howey’s insightful nonfiction essays, all housed in a sturdy slipcase.
The three main books are also sold individually in paperback, each currently discounted to about $12:
- The Silo Series Box Set — $22.18 (originally $60)
- Wool: Silo Series 1 — $12.39 (originally $20)
- Wool: TV Tie-in Edition — $11.33 (originally $20)

Shift Deluxe Collector’s Edition: Silo Series 2
The Shift Deluxe Collector’s Edition is available for $32.52 (reduced from $40).
Each Deluxe Collector’s Edition boasts new cover art, beautifully sprayed edges, and illustrated endpapers. A comprehensive topographical map of the silos is printed in color on the inside of the dust jackets. Shift’s sprayed edges are a striking blue, contrasting with Wool’s red edges. This 608-page edition, in addition to the original three novellas that comprise Shift, features an exclusive Silo short story by the author.
The first two seasons of the TV series remained largely faithful to Wool while also introducing unique character arcs and plot developments. It is anticipated that Season 3 will similarly diverge from Shift in certain significant ways, yet still preserve the book’s core narrative.
Although Shift and Wool are commonly referred to as novels, sections of each book were initially released as novellas. Shift transports readers back approximately 200 years, chronicling the apocalypse and the subsequent establishment of the titular Silos. The stories are primarily narrated from the perspective of Congressman Donald Keane, who begins his involvement with the Silo project in 2049. Across the three novellas, you uncover more about E-Day and the global catastrophes that led to the opening of Silo 1 in 2110. The concluding section of Shift directly sets the stage for Wool.
The Shift Deluxe Collector’s Edition includes:
- First Shift – Legacy: A Novella
- Second Shift – Order: A Novella
- Third Shift – Pact: A Novella
- An original short story
Wool Deluxe Collector’s Edition: Silo Series 1
The Wool Deluxe Collector’s Edition can be purchased for $20 (originally $40).
This Deluxe Collector’s Edition of Wool shares the same premium features as the new Shift edition, distinguished by its vibrant red sprayed edges. Since its debut in 2011, Wool has seen numerous paperback and hardcover releases, but this is undoubtedly its most visually appealing iteration. Fans should secure their copy quickly before it sells out again, as it did recently.
This 592-page edition of Wool contains four novellas and the short story Holston, which serves as Part 1 of the Silo series. Hugh Howey also penned an original essay for this edition, offering behind-the-scenes insights into the Apple TV+ series.
The Wool Deluxe Collector’s Edition includes:
- Holston: A short story
- Proper Gauge: A Novella
- Casting Off: A Novella
- The Unraveling: A Novella
- The Stranded: A Novella
Hugh Howey – Silo Series: Deluxe Collector’s Editions
We anticipate that Dust will also receive a matching Deluxe Collector’s Edition next fall. For now, a paperback copy is the primary option, as the hardcover edition of Dust commands a very high price on the reseller market.
- Wool Deluxe Collector’s Edition — $20 (originally $40)
- Shift Deluxe Collector’s Edition — $32.52 (originally $40)
Wool plunges readers into a world fighting for survival. The remnants of humanity are confined to an underground silo, as the surface world is no longer hospitable. Tensions escalate when the silo’s sheriff abruptly vacates his post, thrusting a mechanic named Juliette into his position. What unfolds is a gripping sci-fi epic where Juliette endeavors to uncover a conspiracy that could reshape their entire world.
Howey initially self-published Wool through Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing program. As previously mentioned, he released the book in serialized chunks (novellas), a practice reminiscent of the popular serialized novels by authors like Charles Dickens in the 1800s. Andy Weir, author of The Martian, achieved similar success with a serialized release strategy, utilizing his personal blog to share his story with readers.
Wool rapidly emerged as one of the early major success stories on the Kindle publishing platform. This triumph led to a distribution agreement for a print version of Wool and, eventually, a successful TV series. The Apple TV+ series, which premiered in 2023, garnered critical acclaim. The series is set to conclude with Season 4, anticipated to air late next year. This timeline, however, could shift depending on whether Season 3 airs later this year or in early 2026.
The Silo Series is also available as an exceptional audiobook, narrated by Edoardo Ballerini. Audible members can acquire all three books for approximately $27, while non-members will pay around $32. A graphic novel adaptation of Wool, released in 2014, is currently available in paperback for just $11.50 (originally $19).
The Wool: The Graphic Novel is available for $11.50 (originally $19).
