Startling Sci-Fi: New Tales of the Beyond: 3

For generations the science fiction genre and literary fiction have been perceived as irreconcilable. Startling Sci-Fi: New Tales of the Beyond attempts to prove otherwise. These 13 stories are boldly literary while employing unmistakable characteristics of the sci-fi genre. Jhon Sanchezs The Japanese Rice Cooker and Daniel Goodings Crow Magnum Xix toy with readers expectations by defying traditional storytelling techniques while Eve Fishers Embraced and David W. Landrums The Priestesses of Light are intricately constructed character studies. Rob Hartzells The Dead and Eternal raises profound concerns about modern technology though Adam Sasss 98% Graves takes an optimistic view of the future. Every story is accompanied by Stefanie Masciandaros vibrant hypnotic illustrations which simultaneously evoke the days of sci-fi pulp paperbacks yet remain firmly grounded in 21st century digital techniques. This anthology will take you beyond what you thought possible in science fiction.
