Unexpected Futures Mar 30, 2021

by Annie Reed

$2.99

How will the world end?

In a flash of nuclear fire? Or the endless night of a sun gone inexplicably dark? Or perhaps the loss of all the electronic data that makes the modern world go round?

Maybe just with the quiet disappearance of most of the world’s people, leaving behind only a few to start over again.

If you’re a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, you won’t want to miss this latest collection in Annie Reed’s Unexpected series. Just make sure you read these stories with the lights on, and have a few tissues nearby.

Just in case.

Editing an anthology can prove tricky business. Wonderful stories sometimes find themselves on the rejection pile simply because they do not fit in the editor’s vision of that anthology. So, editor Mark Leslie decided to save some of those amazing stories for this latest volume of Fiction River: Editor’s Choice. These tales run the gamut from YA fantasy to cozy crime to slipstream to horror. And they represent the incredible diversity of styles, voices, and genre that inspired Adventures Fantastic to call Fiction River “one of the best and most exciting publications in the field today.”

Maggie's Missing Mojo (Uncollected Anthology: Conjuring Crime Book 25) Aug 1, 2021

by Annie Reed

$0.99

When you’re a private detective with an unreliable ability to see the future, a secret crush on your hunky elf partner, and a dog who’s not really a dog, life can get complicated. Add to the mix a masseuse whose mojo’s gone missing, and the complications—not to mention the twists and turns—are off the charts.

In this latest Diz & Dee Mystery, our favorite private detectives find themselves investigating why the free-spirited masseuse across the street can’t find the mojo that helps her give the world’s greatest massages. Did someone cast a spell on Maggie? Curse her? Or is her missing mojo the result of something far more devious?

Hole-in-the-Wall Shrink (Uncollected Anthology: Alchemy Book 24) Apr 1, 2021

by Annie Reed

$0.99

The law of equivalent exchange. The bedrock of the practice of alchemy.

For the owner of a hole-in-the-wall bar, a little alchemy from an unexpected source turns out to be the perfect way to keep her business afloat. Enhance a few bottles of high-class booze for a few special customers, and all of a sudden they’re not just carrying on conversations with her, they’re confiding business secrets they wouldn’t let slip to anyone else.

Sure, alchemy comes with a cost—equivalent exchange, remember?—but she always thought she was willing to pay the price.

Right up until she serves that special booze to one of the old gods, a powerful businessman with a plan of his own.

Dancing Across the Canyon (Uncollected Anthology: Supernatural Soirees Book 23) Dec 1, 2020

by Annie Reed

( 1 )

$0.99

Sugar and her family always danced away the night on Christmas Eve.

They danced to mix tapes Sugar made with all of her momma’s favorite holiday music. Sugar and her momma and daddy and her brothers. All the aunts and uncles and cousins. All dressed in their go-to-church finest and crammed into the tiny living room in her family’s old third-floor walkup, they danced until the sun came up and went to bed exhausted and happy.

The dances brought them all together, Sugar and her family.

Until the night she couldn’t come home.

Until the night that changed everything.

What Lives Beneath (Uncollected Anthology: Mazes and Labyrinths) Jul 31, 2020

by Annie Reed

$0.99

Leave the path at your peril. Especially when the path marks the only safe passage through an underground city buried deep beneath the surface of the modern world.

Karen enjoys her work as a guide for the City Beneath the City tour—except for the occasional problem tourist, like the two twelve-year-old boys who ditched Karen’s group to go exploring on their own.

The first city known as Moretown Bay disappeared beneath the mud over a hundred years ago. Thanks to a few well-placed spells, a handful of those old buildings give modern tourists a glimpse into the city’s past.

But danger lies beyond the safety of the tour. Unstable buildings. Shifting mud. Passageways that come and go seemingly by magic.

Finding two lost boys turns into a desperate fight for survival against the things that live deep under the old, buried city in this exciting story from the Mazes and Labyrinths issue of The Uncollected Anthology.

“One of the best writers I’ve come across in years.” –Kristine Kathryn Rusch, award-winning writer and editor.
