Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of the best weird fantasy stories by the Doctor Who series writer and World Fantasy Award–winning author. SHORTLISTED FOR THE SHIRLEY JACKSON AWARD Prolific author and screenwriter Robert Shearman has won numerous awards for his short stories of dark fantasy and horror. In this collection, Shearman visits worlds that are unsettling and strange. Sometimes they are just like ours―except landlocked countries may disappear overnight, marriages to camels are the norm, and the dead turn into musical instruments. Sometimes they are quite alien―where children carve their own tongues from trees, and magic shows are performed to amuse the troops in the war between demons and angels. There is horror, and dreams—fulfilled and squandered—of true love. Venture into the world of Robert Shearman’s darkly exhilarating imagination. They do the same things different there.

Book excerpt: From the award-winning Angela Slatter, author of The Bitterwood Bible and Other Recountings, All The Murmuring Bones, and The Path of Thorns, comes a collection of twelve short stories showcasing the scope of her extraordinary talent. In The Wrong Girl and Other Warnings, Slatter shows us that 'innocent' should never be mistaken for 'safe', while spinning tales of witches, Victorian-era detectives, bad parents, unrepentant killers, and ancient wisdom. In A Matter Of Light, detective Kit Casswell is called upon to lend her experience with the supernatural to a very unwilling consulting detective. In Widows’ Walk, a quartet of witches band together in a single house, secretly working to protect young women. In the titular tale, The Wrong Girl, a frustrated artist turns the romance of her fickle friend and tiresome sister into a deadly masterpiece. Wry, savage, and written with the precision of a writer at the top of her game, The Wrong Girl and Other Warnings is a gift to those who already love Slatter's fiction and those discovering her exquisite stories for the first time.
