Hearts of the Abyss
(2026)Tales of Monster Love

What do Dune, Star Trek, Star Wars and The Thing have in common? Iconic writers who have written for them are all appearing together in a new anthology, Hearts of the Abyss: Tales of Monster Love. We put together the most talented, critically acclaimed and award-winning authors, and told them "Write a story with a monster and a romance, and the rest is up to you."
This is what they came up with.
