Stormland (2021)
John Shirley
"John Shirley's acerbic humor is a perfect match for his sense of doom and adventure. One of his best. Buckle in!"
thumb
Robot Artists and Black Swans (2021)
Bruce Sterling
"Sterling’s latest collection is rich and wide, a cross between Primo Levi and Jorge Luis Borges-with a touch of Philip K. Dick and William Gibson. I love it."
thumb
Venus Remembered (2020)
Ray Bradbury and Jason J Marchi
"Jason Marchi’s lovely story and loving tribute to one of our favorite writers."
