That night, a woman appears at a third-floor window with a warning: the last barrier breaks at the solstice. What unfolds is the untold story of Heathcliff — not just a stable boy, but a creature of ancient fae power — and a love so consuming it shattered time itself. The moors do not forget. Market release date July 28.
Los Angeles, 1940s. The war is over, but the shadows have grown teeth. When a body turns up and a musician goes missing, the LAPD is out of its depth — because solving crimes in this city requires knowing the runes beneath the pavement. Harry Turtledove's standalone noir plunges readers into a post-war L.A. where vampires walk Central Avenue, spells are as common as cigarettes, and ancient power is rising in all the wrong hands. Market Release date, April 16.

Ben Bova
Ex-astronaut and presidential troubleshooter Jake Ross has one mission: establish a permanent moonbase and launch humanity toward Mars and beyond. Standing in his way are political infighting, a dying president, a skeptical legislature, a disengaged public, and even a reluctant NASA. But none of them have reckoned with Jake Ross. A fitting coda to Ben Bova's prolific career, this near-future adventure is a determined, optimistic case for humanity's destiny among the stars.
Leigh Brackett (Classics)
Decades after nuclear war has shattered civilization, cousins Len and Esau come of age in a community where large towns are forbidden and technology is condemned as evil. Leigh Brackett's The Long Tomorrow — praised by the New York Times as "close to being a great work of science fiction" — is one of the original post-apocalyptic novels and remains as mesmerizing today as when first written, having inspired generations of writers in the decades since.

Jack L. Chalker (Classics)
Starship captain Nathan Brazil answers a distress call — and finds himself transported to the Well World, an ancient construct controlling 1,560 universes created by a long-extinct race. There, people are transformed into centaurs, mermaids, and giant insects, allies and enemies are indistinguishable, and mysterious forces are moving to seize control of everything. With over five million copies sold worldwide, Jack Chalker's classic opener is essential speculative fiction.
Authorized by Jack L. Chalker's estate, Permutations brings together acclaimed authors — including Neal Asher, Catherine Asaro, and S.P. Somtow — to expand the legendary Well World universe. Each story honors a series that has shaped science fiction and sold millions of copies worldwide, while adding fresh imagination to Chalker's enduring legacy.

Randee Dawn
Three Dublin childhood friends — Patrick, Ciaran, and Malachi — ride a record deal to their first American tour, blending traditional Irish music with rock. But fame brings unwanted attention from three sídhe playing by their own ancient rules. As his bandmates fall under fairy influence, only Patrick can save them — if he's willing to trust the superstitions of a painful past he'd rather forget. Set during the 90s Celtic rock boom, this is music, myth, and loyalty intertwined.
Current Foreword Indie's Award Finalist. Lexi has lived in the remote Rocky Mountain woods for a decade, hiding two secrets from her paranoid father: her not-quite-human friend Gil, and the magic he taught her. When a pop star hires them to hunt a bear under Gil's protection, Lexi must choose between her father's rules and the only friendship she's ever known. A Foreword Indies Award finalist, Leave No Trace pits magic against technology and loyalty against freedom in a richly imagined clash of worlds.
William C. Dietz
A stand alone novella set in the Winds of War Series. When a Chinese laser facility shoots down Air Force Two over El Salvador, Vice President Hayden survives the crash — only to find himself injured and hunted in a country run by gangs, corrupt cops, and vigilantes eager to sell him to the highest bidder. The mission falls to Captain Jim Brody, currently locked in a military jail, and Honduran Lieutenant Maria Perez. Fast-paced and high-stakes, this is a race against time across hostile terrain with no margin for error.
Ekpeki, et al.
Winner World Fantasy Award 2022. The Year's Best African Speculative Fiction is the world's first annual anthology dedicated to the genre — collecting twenty-nine stories from twenty-five writers across Africa and the diaspora, representing some of the most exciting voices published in 2020. This landmark volume celebrates the full breadth and vitality of African speculative fiction. Nominated for multiple awards, including the Locus Award and British Science Fiction Association Award.
The follow up to the 2021 edition that broke all the molds. Ekepki is joined by fellow editors Eugen Bacon and Milton Davis to curate the finest in African short fiction. Another ground breaking anthology celebrating African culture and mythology.
The third volume in a World Fantasy Award-winning series, this anthology continues its tradition of blending speculative imagination with deeply human storytelling. Expect the full range: advanced technology and sentient machines alongside intimate explorations of depression, identity, and alienation; mythic cultural narratives alongside razor-sharp near-future scenarios. Bold, eclectic, and consistently surprising, this collection proves once again that African speculative fiction is pushing the boundaries of the genre while staying rooted in the complexities of the human condition.
Michael Flynn
Winner Prometheus Award 2025. Aboard a colossal generation ship, Earth's brightest minds have built a strict regime to ensure humanity's survival — but rigid rules breed resentment, and as distinct societies form across the years, differences in ideology, class, and culture ignite the first sparks of revolution. A Publishers Weekly starred review calls it "an impressive and original epic," and In the Belly of the Whale delivers exactly that: a profound, morally complex voyage through space and the depths of the human spirit.
Daniel F. Galouye (Classics)
Long before virtual reality existed, Simulacron-3 imagined a team of scientists who build a fully simulated world to conduct public opinion research — until colleagues begin vanishing one by one. Is it a glitch in the simulation, or something more sinister? And how certain can anyone be about the nature of reality itself? A prophetic classic beloved by science fiction's greatest writers, this visionary novel inspired both film and television adaptations and remains startlingly relevant today.
Generations after apocalypse, humanity survives in underground darkness where light is remembered as something sacred and radiation feared as ultimate evil. Jared, son of the Prime Survivor and heir to the Lower Level Clan, sets out on a quest for light — not knowing how dangerous that journey will prove. This Hugo-nominated classic of post-apocalyptic fiction blends myth, shadow, and adventure into a compelling tale of a society that has forgotten the world above.
Haldeman, Bujold, Resnick, Kress
Four novellas. Eight major awards. Unrivaled collects four works that each achieved the rare distinction of winning both the Hugo and the Nebula — fan favorite and professional gold standard combined. Nancy Kress explores a genetically engineered sleepless elite; Joe Haldeman weaves Hemingway forgery into time travel; Lois McMaster Bujold confronts justice and mercy in a murder case; Mike Resnick sends aliens to excavate humanity's rise and fall at Olduvai Gorge. Essential science fiction by four masters of the genre.
Robert A. Heinlein
Winner Hugo Award. Down-and-out actor Lorenzo the Great is wasting away in bars when a chance encounter with a space pilot pulls him into a Martian conspiracy with planetary consequences. Failure means his death — and interplanetary war. Heinlein's first Hugo winner, Double Star is considered by many his finest novel, praised by Brian Aldiss as his "most enjoyable" and by Connie Willis as emblematic of why Heinlein shaped every science fiction writer and filmmaker that followed.
Personally curated by Heinlein himself, Expanded Universe collects stories and essays spanning his entire career — from his first 1939 sale to Astounding through his later work — arranged chronologically to trace the evolution of his craft and philosophy. What makes it truly essential is Heinlein's own forewords and afterwords throughout, offering a rare glimpse into the famously private author's inner life. For any Heinlein enthusiast, this two-volume set is as close to an autobiography as he ever wrote. This is volume one.
The second volume of Heinlein's personally curated collection continues the chronological journey through his career, tracing the evolution of his craft, ideas, and philosophy. As with volume one, Heinlein's own forewords and afterwords throughout offer an intimate and rare window into the famously private author's inner world — making this as close to autobiography as he ever produced. An indispensable companion to volume one for any serious Heinlein reader or science fiction enthusiast.
After health challenges impacted his work through the 1970s, Heinlein returned to form with Friday — widely considered his comeback novel and far more reminiscent of his earlier, tighter writing. This Nebula- and Hugo-nominated thriller follows Friday, a genetically engineered courier and one of science fiction's strongest female protagonists of the era, from a brutal ambush over a package she's carrying through a devastating betrayal that pushes her extraordinary abilities and resolve to their limits.
It's the summer of 2007, and slug-like aliens are quietly conquering Earth — attaching to human spines and turning people into puppets. When agents Sam, Mary, and their chief travel to Iowa to investigate a missing team and a reported saucer, they find a city already overrun. With the President refusing to act and Sam himself falling under slug control, his vast skills now serving the invasion, humanity's last hope is slipping away fast.
In 1977, Heinlein wrote two versions of the same novel — and the world only saw one. The Pursuit of the Pankera is the restoration of the other. Zeb, Deety, Hilda, and Jake are running for their lives, hunted by the Black Hats, their only escape a vehicle that slips between dimensions. Sharp, fast, and old-school in the best sense, this is the ending Golden Age science fiction fans always deserved — and almost never got.
When Zeb, Deety, Hilda, and Jake are ambushed by alien Black Hats, their escape vehicle — the Gay Deceiver — can slip between parallel universes. What most fans don't know is that Heinlein wrote two versions of this story in parallel: same opening, then completely diverging the moment the Gay Deceiver launches. The Number of the Beast is the 1980 version the world knows — a gloriously audacious experiment in science fiction from the author of Starship Troopers.
When Jim Marlowe and Frank Sutton head to boarding school on Mars, their pet Bouncer Willis accidentally records a colonial administrator's nefarious plans — setting the boys on the run to warn their colony. Along the way, their bond with the mysterious Martian elder race deepens in ways neither expected. Marking the first appearance of the Martians from Stranger in a Strange Land, this restored edition includes Heinlein's originally intended ending, making it the definitive version of a beloved classic.
With Earth dangerously overpopulated, the Long Range Foundation builds Torchships capable of reaching other star systems in months — but communication back to Earth would take decades. The solution: telepathic pairs like childhood friends Tom and Pat, whose connection transcends both time and distance. There's just one haunting catch — while one twin traverses the stars and barely ages, the other grows old waiting on Earth. The New York Times called it "a joy to read," and it is.
Karen Heuler
All over the country people are singing—climbing to the rooftops, to the bridges, to lamppost and road sign, steeple and water tower, singing gloriously, triumphantly, tirelessly—and dying. When it’s all over, Manhattan has to rebuild a new society, and it seems to be having a lot of help in the form of angles, gods, and walking myths. What’s real? And how much does it matter?
Whether you're discovering you're one of many 3D-printed copies or waking up to a cheerful alien invasion, Karen Heuler's characters face the impossible with resilience and dark wit. Playful, profound, and profane in equal measure, these stories follow people who build unwanted bridges, ally with vengeful dolls, and reckon with time-bending worms — all while navigating the deeply strange business of being human. Rise up, they seem to say, and make the unacceptable yours.
In Karen Heuler's The Other Door, reality bends but characters hold firm. The Virgin Mary steps down from backyard visitations; a dancer reinvents herself after losing her legs; a woman opens a forgotten door and follows it into the unexpected. Contemporary folktales as much as fantasy, these stories retain the psychological authenticity of everyday life while letting symbols and imagination breathe. Marvelously crafted and consistently surprising, they explore how invention becomes the only honest response to an unpredictable world.
Jim C. Hines
A year after losing her husband, Nial flies a kite sewn from his wedding shirt to carry his spirit to the stars — and discovers she's a Kitemaster, a rare gift in a world ruled by winds and magic. Her powers draw her into a dangerous mission to stop a ruthless queen's conquest of the skies. Award-winning author Jim C. Hines delivers a deeply personal epic twenty years in the making, weaving loss, resilience, and transformation into an inspiring adventure.
Katharine Kerr
Once a decorated Fleet Officer, Dan now sleeps on the streets, trading his body for a drug that dulls the pain of everything he's lost. But when the galaxy's faster-than-light shunts begin failing — threatening to strand entire civilizations — the Fleet needs someone who can read hyperspace like no one else. Reluctantly pulled back in, Dan joins a crew of misfits on a secret mission, while battling the addiction that nearly destroyed him and still might.
Chris Kulp
In a distant future where Earth is a lost legend, skilled smuggler Maddy sets out carrying vital medicine and a cryptic data crystal — and finds herself caught between space pirates, political intrigue, and her own moral compass. Book one of the Majestic Chronicles balances high-stakes action with genuine ethical complexity, building a richly imagined universe around a protagonist whose inner journey proves as compelling as the dangers closing in around her.
Mercedes Lackey, et al.
With Cory Martin. In a future where zombies, vampires, and werewolves coexist uneasily with humans, what better career for the undead than space travel? Meet Humph the Boggart — principled, down-on-his-luck private detective — alongside Skinny Jim, a zombie who hides his ability to speak to stay alive, and Fred the werewolf. Mercedes Lackey and Cody Martin deliver a witty, fast-paced film noir space opera that throws this gloriously mismatched crew together in very close quarters with very entertaining results.

PREORDER. Book will be available on publication. With Andre Norton. As Elven society fractures and war looms, the spotlight shifts to Kyrtian — an Elvenlord who never wanted power, yet suddenly commands the elven army. Unlike his ruthless peers, Kyrtian built his estate on fairness rather than domination. Now thrust into conflict on multiple fronts, he embarks on a quest to find the Great Portal — the gateway through which his race first arrived — and uncover the secrets his father left behind. The revised, illustrated third volume of the Halfblood Chronicles.
PREORDER. Book will be available on publication. With Ben Ohlander. More than twenty years in the making, the final chapter of the Halfblood Chronicles has arrived.

Completed by Mercedes Lackey and Benjamin Ohlander, Elvenbred delivers the long-awaited conclusion to one of fantasy's most beloved sagas.
David D. Levine
Ten years after a heist gone wrong scattered the Cannibal Club in a storm of recriminations, one member's son shows up to break his father out of captivity — and the gang reassembles. Told through escalating "Jobs" from each character's point of view, this award-winning sci-fi caper blends Ocean's 11 with The Expanse, following a crew that breaks into banks, hacks systems, and swindles the powerful — while discovering that after ten years, nobody is quite who they were.
Emma MacDonald
Rose can't cast a single spell — an embarrassing problem at Dunhollow Academy, especially with her chancellor mother watching. But when she becomes the only person who can see the ghost of a mysteriously disappeared student, and then her rival Sylvie dies too, Rose realizes something dark is hunting Dunhollow's students. Forced to team up with Sylvie's ghost, Rose races to unravel a secret Order and ancient dark magic before another student falls. Perfect for fans of Harry Potter — but darker. Book One.
Rose returns to Dunhollow Academy for her final year, only to find herself competing in a deadly inter-university tournament while hiding her forbidden necromancy. When a revival spell backfires and she blacks out — waking over her mother's scorched corpse — Rose must uncover whether she's a killer, a victim, or both. With only her rival Sylvie and sharp-tongued compulsion mage Callum to rely on, the truth may prove more dangerous than any tournament trial. Book Two.
Alexei Panshin
Hugo and Nebula winner Alexei Panshin turns his critical eye inward in this deeply personal exploration of literary influences, creative development, and the enduring power of science fiction. Tracing the authors — from A.E. van Vogt to Lewis Carroll — who shaped both his own writing and the broader genre, and drawing from his Hugo-winning The World Beyond the Hill, Panshin weaves memoir and criticism into something as illuminating as it is beautifully written. Nonfiction.
Hugo Winner. With Cory Panshin. “An unbelievably wonderful book” — Isaac Asimov. A story about stories, The World Beyond the Hill traces science fiction from Frankenstein to Galactic Empire — not just its history, but its meaning as the defining myth of modern times. Painstakingly researched and brilliantly argued, it illuminates where modern culture has been — and where it needs to go next. Nonfiction.
Alex Shvartsman
Conrad Brent protects Brooklyn from magical threats while hiding a dangerous secret: he's a middling, half-gifted and universally despised, surviving on wits, artifacts, and coffee. When he discovers another middling being auctioned off and uncovers a devastating magical chemical weapon, Conrad risks everything to act — and loses it all. Stripped of rank, allies, and magical objects, he has to save the world anyway. Thankfully, nobody took his coffee. A fast, funny urban fantasy with real stakes and sharp twists. Book One.
Conrad Brent has no innate magic — just quick wits, magical gadgets, and a talent for bluffing his way through monster-infested Brooklyn. Barely back in good standing with the Watch, he'd prefer to lie low. Instead: his boss goes missing, a totalitarian regime takes over City Hall, the mayor allies with a diabolical villain, and interdimensional fae assassins want him dead. Saving the day means teaming up with a recovering necromancer and standing with friends against tyranny. Just another Tuesday. Book Two.
Joan Slonczewski
In the hundred-level city of Iridis, artist Chrys directs a million microbial minds to paint installations, design smart buildings, and fix quantum networks — until criminal microbial gangs invade her brain to seize control. Around her, the city is fracturing: building roots grow cancers, outlawed machines kidnap human lords, and the rulers ignore every warning sign. From the Campbell Award-winning author of A Door into Ocean, this is a richly imagined tale of creation, collapse, and the minds caught between them.
John W. Campbell Award winner. When a stonecutter's son leaves his trader planet to apprentice on Shora — an ocean-covered moon — he enters a world unlike anything he's known. The Sharers, an all-female society, live in profound harmony with each other and their environment, practicing a nonviolence that challenges every assumption he holds. Drawing on the author's expertise in biology, this book is, as the San Francisco Examiner noted, very much in the spirit of Dune and Le Guin.
Cloned from a Cuban-American president, Jenny Ramos Kennedy attends college on a space satellite while Earth is ravaged by alien ultraphytes spraying cyanide across an already overheated ecosystem. Between keeping her friend out of Guantanamo and managing her neurodivergent roommate, Jenny somehow finds time for a biology lab project with world-ending stakes: engineer mutant plants to defeat the invasion, fix the climate, and make humanity wiser. The semester ends soon, and the experiment gets exactly one chance.
Alan Smale
In an alternate 1979, the Moon is a Cold War battlefield. When astronaut Vivian Carter survives a Soviet attack on a U.S. space station, she returns to the lunar surface to find the war is just beginning. Stranded, outnumbered, and unarmed, she and her crew must fight back before the Moon falls. From two-time Sidewise Award winner and former NASA director Alan Smale, Hot Moon delivers hard science, pulse-pounding tension, and a deeply researched alternate history that feels startlingly real. Book One.
Vivian Carter returns to lead a joint American-Soviet geological survey across the lunar surface — dangerous enough on its own, until an ambush threatens everything. Survival demands ingenuity, courage, and trusting the very people shaped by decades of rivalry. The much-anticipated sequel to Hot Moon — called "a nail-biting thriller" by Publishers Weekly — Alan Smale once again combines hard science with Cold War tension, pushing Vivian and her uneasy crew to their limits on the unforgiving lunar surface. Book Two.
On July 4, 1983, Vivian Carter launches on a two-year double flyby of Venus and Mars — while back home, superpower tensions spiral toward nuclear war and the Moon becomes a battlefield decimating everyone she knows. Returning in 1985, she faces one final desperate mission: a rescue on a war-torn Moon with no support and no safety net. The concluding volume of Alan Smale's Apollo Rising series forces humanity to choose between an interplanetary future and nuclear apocalypse on two worlds. Book Three.
L. Neil Smith
With Earth fractured by political turmoil and a power-hungry industrialist maneuvering to exploit the chaos, Martian colonists are in desperate trouble — and any rescue from Earth will arrive too late. Four siblings from Pallas launch their own one-way mission, knowing they must either teach the colonists to survive the inhospitable planet or endure until help arrives. A story of ordinary people refusing to wait for incompetent governments, taking humanity's future into their own hands.
Cordwainer Smith (Classics)
On Norstrilia, the sole source of "stroon" — a substance that indefinitely delays aging — immortality is cheap and imperfect citizens are ruthlessly culled. Rod McBan, heir to one of the planet's oldest families, barely escapes execution due to his own shortcomings, then flees to Earth when a jealous former friend forces his hand. There, his unprecedented fortune makes him a target for every crook and revolutionary on the planet. Cordwainer Smith's beloved classic of deep imagination and quiet strangeness.
Richard Sparks
Minutes after winning the RPG Grand Championship before millions of live stream viewers, Daxx wakes up transformed into his own avatar — stranded in an unfamiliar wilderness with beginner gear and a useless sword, predators already closing in. Once Daxx and his teammates Qrysta and Grell find each other, they must puzzle out the rules of their new world, build alliances, and fight to survive. Ready Player One meets Lord of the Rings — with humor sharp enough to match the action. Book One.
Fresh from their epic quest, battlemage Daxx, sword-dancer Qrysta, orc Grell, sneakthief Oller, and his mutt Little Guy are pulled back into danger when a ghost ship arrives bearing a cryptic message. Setting sail with good intentions, they're soon caught in the eternal struggle between good and evil — forced to split up and complete separate missions in a realm where nowhere is safe. Richard Sparks delivers another witty, adventure-packed quest with heart, humor, and high stakes throughout. Book Two.
When King Wyllard dies under eccentric circumstances, power falls to the radiant and cunning Esmeralda — who wastes no time silencing rivals and rewriting the rules of Jarnland. Meanwhile, legendary warrior Commandant Bastard faces his greatest challenge: a spectacular duel against the formidable Grell, whose outcome could reshape the realm entirely. The third installment of Richard Sparks' New Rock series delivers palace intrigue, tested loyalties, and high-stakes combat — with secrets threatening to unravel everything. Book Three.
S. M. Stirling
In an alternate universe where Venus teems with sabertooths and dinosaurs, US-Commonwealth base Jamestown is both scientific outpost and dangerous frontier. When newly arrived scientist Cynthia teams up with Marc to investigate strange geological formations, they stumble into tribal warfare, Cold War tensions with the nearby Soviet base, and a crashed EastBloc shuttle that has armed primitive beastmen with modern weapons. What they ultimately uncover may redefine humanity's understanding of life on Venus — and on Earth itself. Book One.
When early space probes revealed Mars teeming with life, human explorers followed. Now archaeologist Jeremy Wainman arrives to uncover a lost city beneath the red sands, guided by the fierce and secretive Martian warrior Teyud za-Zhalt. What they find points to a civilization of staggering sophistication — and pulls them into a deadly struggle for the throne of the Crimson Kings. Ancient feuds, political intrigue, and forces beyond human comprehension await in this richly imagined alternate Mars. Book Two.
The eagerly anticipated finale of S.M. Stirling's Lords of Creation series brings together the richly imagined worlds of alternate Venus and Mars in a climactic conclusion. Characters from both planets — and both previous novels — converge as their struggles reach a head, weaving political intrigue, speculative history, and science fiction adventure into a satisfying resolution. For fans who have followed the series through The Sky People and In the Courts of the Crimson Kings, the wait is finally over. Book Three.
Scarlett J. Thorne
When writer James Lockwood's car dies in a Yorkshire storm, he's drawn to Wuthering Heights — where Nelly Dean has been expecting him. That night, a woman appears at a third-floor window with a warning: the last barrier breaks at the solstice. What unfolds is the untold story of Heathcliff — not a stable boy, but a creature of ancient fae power — and a love so consuming it shattered time itself. The moors do not forget. Market release date July 28. You can get it today!
Harry Turtledove
In a version of 1930s Los Angeles where a twenty-foot angel ferries passengers up Bunker Hill, broke private investigator Jack Mitchell gets a case he can't refuse — a blonde named Dora who walks through locked doors and pays in gold. She wants her missing brother found. He wants to survive long enough to find him. Part noir, part paranormal romance, part historical fantasy, this is a dark obsession where the lady is eternal and Jack is running out of heartbeats.
Los Angeles, 1940s. The war is over, but the shadows have grown teeth. When a body turns up and a musician goes missing, the LAPD is out of its depth — because solving crimes in this city requires knowing the runes beneath the pavement. Harry Turtledove's standalone noir plunges readers into a post-war L.A. where vampires walk Central Avenue, spells are as common as cigarettes, and ancient power is rising in all the wrong hands. Market release date April 16. You can get it today!
PREORDER. Book will be available on publication. Mitchell is a down-on-his-luck PI sharing his office with a cat named Old Man Mose and a bad habit of falling off furniture. When Irv Lipshitz — a prankster with a history — offers a hundred dollars just for a meeting, Mitchell takes it. Rent doesn't pay itself. But in a post-WWII Los Angeles where the supernatural is bleeding through the cracks of the noir pavement, some jobs are priced high for a reason. Harry Turtledove goes hardboiled.
In the West Coast People's Democratic Republic, vegetable shop manager Charlie Simpkins has spent a lifetime in quiet obedience — until he can't bring himself to display a propaganda poster in his window. That single act of defiance sets off a chain of consequences that threatens everything he loves. Inspired by the Prague Spring's vision of socialism with a human face, Powerless is a chilling dystopian tale about how the smallest act of honesty can become the ultimate rebellion.
What if HIV began spreading in the early 1500s instead of the late 1900s? Without modern medicine, infection means certain death. A patriarchal society responds the only way it knows how — sequestering women and restricting contact between the sexes to slow transmission. Imperfect, but grimly effective. A 2024 Sidewise Award nominee from Harry Turtledove, whom Publishers Weekly calls "the Master of Alternate History," this is a chilling exploration of how one disease could reshape the entire social fabric of the world.
With James Morrow and Cat Rambo. After years of authoritarian rule and a second COVID outbreak claims Trump in 2024, Mike Pence inherits a fractured nation. Republicans tighten their congressional grip, the Supreme Court enables federal overreach, and once-united communities collapse toward the unthinkable: the end of the Union. From Harry Turtledove, James Morrow, and Nebula winner Cat Rambo, these three novellas form a chilling, prophetic warning about polarization's ultimate destination — a fictional America that feels disturbingly close to home.
Sherri Cook Woosley
Sweet, strange, and dangerous — like the fabled fruit itself, this anthology offers sixteen stories that blur wonder and peril across myth, fantasy, and science fiction. From an intergalactic Night Bazaar to kelpie-haunted islands, from Eurydice riding the Pony Express to aliens whose skins are not for sale, each tale carries an intoxicating, unpredictable bite. Eight original illustrations accompany journeys spun from ancient myth and forged in machinery, leaving something that lingers long after the last page.
Yaroslav Barsukov
