Robot Artists and Black Swans (2021)
Bruce Sterling
"Bruno Argento is the Calvino of the Cyberpunks, and in this new collection Bruce Sterling channels his Turinese alter ego to conjure dark and wondrous visions of alternate Europes past, present and future. A perfectly curated selection of the best recent works from a living master of short form SF, Robot Artists & Black Swans shows what can be achieved when a writer fully embraces the possibilities of becoming a character in one of his own stories."

All Things Left Wild (2020)
James Wade
"An intense and lyrical journey through the borderzone of the American Southwest in a time before walls, infused with the real feeling of the land, and of the violence its conquest engenders."

Of Mice and Minestrone (2020)
(Hap and Leonard Collections)
Joe R Lansdale
"In these character studies of his two most charismatic protagonists, Joe Lansdale takes us to the dark side of Mayberry - authentic tales of small town life in the heart of the twentieth century that also provide an unflinching look at the violence that charged the last gasps of Jim Crow, with all the force of the Sabine River at flood stage."
