We usethe term “speculative fiction” in order to free ourselves from the associa-tions of terms like “science fiction,” “horror,” and “fantasy.” At their best,these stories disrupt habits, overcome barriers of cultural perception tomakethe familiar strange through the use of speculative elements such as magicand technology. They provide glimpses of alternate realities and possible fu-tures and pasts that provoke an ethical, social, political, environmental, andbiological inquiry into what it means to be human.

Under the countless billions of stars in the universe, what formswill alien life take? How will they live? And what will happen whenwe meet them? Aliens: Recent Encounters collects answers tothese questions from some of today’s best science fiction writ-ers. From first encounters to life alongside aliens — and stories ofthe aliens’ own lives — here are many futures: violent and peace-ful, star-spanning and personal. Only one thing is certain: alienlife will defy our expectations.

From the Sumerian epic of Gilgamesh to Norse prophecies of Rag-narok to the Revelations of Saint John to Cormac McCarthy’s TheRoad, and any number of fictional zombie Armageddons and thedystopic world of The Hunger Games, we have always wonderedwhat will happen after the world as we know it ends. No matterwhat the doomsday scenario — cataclysmic climate change, polit-ical chaos, societal collapse, nuclear war, pestilence, or so manyother dreaded variations — we inevitably believe that even thoughthe world perishes, some portion of humankind will live on. Suchstories involve death and disaster, but they are also tales of rebirthand survival. Grim or triumphant, these outstanding, post-apoca-lyptic stories selected from the best of those published in the tu-multuous last decade allow us to consider what life will be like afterthe end.

Children are supposed to be all sugar and spice and everythingnice... but we know that’s not the truth.

Beware the schoolyards and playgrounds, eventhe sanctity of the familial home, especially after dark. And don’tbe fooled by a trickle of tears or tiny hands reaching for you.These youngsters do not want to love or comfort — only to inflictpain! Bad Seeds: Evil Progeny offers twenty-seven tales of terri-fying offspring by both masters of the genre and imaginative new-comers.

Markus Selvage has been bent by life, ground up and spitout again. In San Francisco’s darkest sexual underground, heis a perpetual innocent, looking within bodies — his own andothers’ — for the lost secrets of satisfaction. But extremebody modification is only the beginning of where he will gobefore he’s finished...

It’s a wonder humanity ever survived into the twenty-first century.Even Neanderthals knew to bury the dead beneath stones to pre-vent corpses from rising. Ancient civilizations feared slain warriorswould return from battlefields, medieval physicians worried thatbodies would rise from plague pits, many cultures buried the deadat crossroads to prevent the dead from walking.In Zombies: Shambling Through the Ages, editor Steve Berman hascollected stories that reveal the threat of revenants and the livingdead is far from recent. From the Bronze Age to World War II, thisanthology guides us through millennia of thrills, chills, kills, car-nage, horror, and havoc wreaked throughout history by the walkingdead.

The farther we’ve gotten from the magic and mystery of the past, themore we’ve come to love Halloween— the one time each year whenthe mundane is overturned in favor of the bizarre, the “other side”is closest, and everyone can become anyone (or anything) theywish... and sometimes what they don’t.Introducing nineteen original stories from mistresses and mastersof the dark celebrate the most fantastic, enchanting, spooky, andsupernatural of holidays.

Brilliant dreams and dazzling nightmares with meaningfor today and tomorrow...

The One-Eyed Jack and the Suicide King: personifications ofthe city of Las Vegas — its history, mystery, mystical power,and heart! When the Suicide King vanishes — possibly killed —in the middle of a magic-rights turf war started by the avatarsof Los Angeles, a notorious fictional assassin, and the muti-lated ghost of Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel — his partner, the One-Eyed Jack, must seek the aid of a bizarre band of legendaryand undead allies: the ghosts of Doc Holliday and John Henrythe steel-driving man; the echoes of several imaginary superspies, decades displaced in time; and a vampire named Trib-ute, who bears a striking resemblance to a certain long-losticon of popular music.

GOD IS DISAPPOINTED IN YOU

Publisher: Top Shelf ProductionsWriter: Mark RussellArtist: Shannon WheelerFormat: Hardcover, Black & WhiteSize: 5 x 8, 192 pages

ISBN-13: 978-1-60309-098-8Price: $19.95 (CAN: $21.99, £14.99)Release Date: 8/6/2013

God Is Disappointed in You is for people who would like to read the Bible... if it would just cut to the chase. Stripped of itsarcane language and its interminable passages of poetry, genealogy, and law, every book of the Bible is condensed downto its core message, in no more than a few pages each.

Written by Mark Russell with cartoons by New Yorker cartoonist Shannon Wheeler, God Is Disappointed in You is a fre-quently hilarious, often shocking, but always accurate retelling of the Bible, including the parts selectively left out by Sun-day School teachers and church sermons. Irreverent yet faithful, this book is a must-read for anyone who wants to seepast the fog of religious agendas and cultural debates to discover what the Bible really says.
