Twenty-six brilliant speculative fiction stories about love, and the pain that so often accompanies it. Enjoy a cornucopia of imaginative tales, wondrous settings, and unforgettable characters—such as the disillusioned time traveler who visits ancient Japan to experience a “Moment of Zen,” the young woman from planet Kiruna who can only communicate in song when the moonlet Saarakka is up, and the sorcerer who loses their happiness in a bet with a demon.

Rich and wonderfully diverse, this collection spans many speculative fiction genres: from SciFi to Dystopian, from Fantasy to Magical Realism, from Steampunk to Superhero, from Horror to Weird. Sometimes funny, occasionally happy, frequently gut-wrenching—these stories will take your heart on a wild emotional ride.

Stories by Jeff VanderMeer, Hugh Howey, Karin Tidbeck, Charlie Jane Anders, Holly Phillips, Aliette de Bodard, A. Merc Rustad, Steve Simpson, Mel Paisley, J. D. Brink, Matt Leivers, Michael Milne, Michal Wojcik, Carla Dash, Terry Durbin, Michelle Ann King, Kyle Richardson, Leah Brown, G. Scott Huggins, Dan Micklethwaite, Victoria Zelvin, Shannon Phillips, Keith Frady, Jody Sollazzo, David Stevens, and Morgen Knight.

I enjoyed this book a lot - a great read

By Kelly Harmon on December 22, 2015

Format: Paperback

I enjoyed this book a lot - a great read!

Probably my overall favorite was "Catching On" - I like the precognition angle! Echos of Paul Atreides and Dune. Touches on the metaphysics of free will. Very good.

"Possibly Nefarious Purposes" was very funny and enjoyable. Might could adapt it into a good X-Files episode!

"Past Perfect" was great - I love stories with time loops! A darker version of "Groundhog Day".

I also really liked "Virgin of the Sands", "The Ghul", and "Favor" - all dark and disturbing, but great.

"The Boulevardier" - also enjoyably disturbing.

"WHILE ( u > i) i--;" - interesting idea, clever title - the first part especially was unsettling.

"A Heart for Lucretia" - classic Vandermeer - evil meerkats - great!

Those were my favorites, though the second tier had some very worth-while reads too:

"The Sorcerer's Unattainable Gardens" - this one was a bit too atmospherically vague for me. It didn't grab me.

"A Puzzle by the Name of L" was well written and good - I liked it, but not to the same extent as the first tier stories above.

"Jacinta's Lovers" - to me this one had a 1970s sci-fi vibe to it. Interesting, weird, unsettling, and surrealistic.

"A Concise Protocol for Efficient Deicide" - unsettling, though I didn't get a lot out of it otherwise. It did remind me of a good short story called "Sweet Surrender".

"Fairy Werewolf vs. Vampire Zombie" - good, clever, funny, but somehow didn't make a huge impact on me.

"The Woman Who Sang" - the twist at the end saved it.Read more ›
