Book excerpt: Welcome to The Best of Abyss & Apex, Volume 4, featuring works of speculative fiction first published in Abyss & Apex that center LGBTQ+ characters and themes. Curated by Abyss & Apex editor Wendy S. Delmater, the fifteen stories and poems collected in this anthology cover a broad range of genres, voices, and moods. There are poignant slipstream tales, heroic revolutions in secondary worlds, heists and adventure stories, futuristic sci-fi featuring alien civilizations, military and war stories alongside quieter narratives of longing... Although the pieces in this volume were published over a broad range of time and are otherwise unconnected, one theme that emerges through them is how much being LGBTQ+ is tied to kin and community.

Book Synopsis Year's Best Hardcore Horror Volume 6 by : Randy Chandler
Download or read book Year's Best Hardcore Horror Volume 6 written by Randy Chandler and published by Red Room Press. This book was released on 2021-05-21 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WELCOME TO THE MASQUERADE 2020 was a reality horror show. And like most obnoxious entertainment reality shows, this one had its own idiosyncratic rules and penalties. Call it The Big Lockdown. We were forced to go to ground, to hide in our holes. Some went underground and never came back. Uncertainty ruled because the rules kept changing. Were we following the science or the mad scientists? Was the light at the end of the tunnel the fiery mouth of hell? We couldn’t say for sure, so we ventured out for food, booze and sundries like scavengers in a slow-motion apocalypse, keeping our distance from fellow human beings because you never knew who might be carrying that heavy viral load. And everywhere we went, we went behind the mask. So, it became obvious: The theme of our offering of extreme horror tales from 2020 had to be Masquerade. Our masquerading storytellers nevertheless did what they do best. They went deep into the belly of the beast and sent up fictions reflective of these “trying” times. Their stories peel away the masks (or in some cases, the skin) to reveal the inner workings of darkest hearts and minds and deeper fears.

Download or read book Warmed and Bound written by Pela Via and published by . This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the heart of The Velvet a writing community built around the fervent love of neo-noir fiction comes an original anthology. Stacked with brilliant emerging writers alongside some of the strongest established voices in contemporary literature, WARMED AND BOUND crosses literary boundaries on all sides, to deliver an altogether unique reading experience. Through seemingly opposed conventions, beautiful prose makes a hard impression on the short story form. From a scary love story to a nostalgic thriller, a hardboiled pursuit of salvation to the black humor that is existentialism, WARMED AND BOUND is rogue humility and lovesick noir, where humanity is a dirty puzzle. It 's Velvet Noir. Welcome.

Book excerpt: It is the year 2049, and humanity is on the brink of extinction.... Tania Deeley has always been told that she's a rarity: a human child in a world where most children are sophisticated androids manufactured by Oxted Corporation. When a decline in global fertility ensued, it was the creation of these near-perfect human copies called teknoids that helped to prevent the utter collapse of society. Though she has always been aware of the existence of teknoids, it is not until her first day at The Lady Maud High School for Girls that Tania realizes that her best friend, Siân, may be one. Returning home from the summer holiday, she is shocked by how much Siân has changed. Is it possible that these changes were engineered by Oxted? And if Siân could be a teknoid, how many others in Tania's life are not real? Driven by the need to understand what sets teknoids apart from their human counterparts, Tania begins to seek answers. But time is running out. For everyone knows that on their eighteenth "birthdays," teknoids must be returned to Oxted—never to be heard from again. Told in diary format, Expiration Day is the powerful and poignant story of a young girl coming of age and discovering what it means to be truly human by a talented debut novelist.
