Book excerpt: During the Spring 2017 semester, I taught a West Virginia University (WVU) Honors English course on Isaac Asimov. It was the first time such a course has been offered at WVU and likely one of the first times such a course has been taught anywhere in academe. In reality, a wonderful group of WVU Honors College students taught me. Although I have been a big fan of Asimov for 35 years and have read more than 100 of his books, I was amazed by how many new insights and perspectives I gained on Asimov and his work from the students' comments and questions in class and their answers on the exams.I also caught a glimpse of the future of speculative/science fiction. For the course's final creative project, I asked each student to write a work of science fiction. Novel, play, poem, script, short story, other-they had complete freedom in their choice of format. This anthology contains the creative writing projects from students in the course who agreed to have their work included. If these clever, compelling, creative stories are any indication, the future of speculative/science fiction is in good hands. I have entitled this anthology Umbra: Stories from the Shadows. The title celebrates the occurrence of a total solar eclipse on 21 August 2017, and also reflects the variety of "gray areas" of human experience in which these stories take place.Thanks to Stewart Plein, Assistant University Librarian, a copy of this collection will be placed in the WVU Libraries' Isaac Asimov Collection. Stewart gave the students an excellent introduction to WVU's Asimov Collection during a class field trip to the Libraries' Rare Book Room. Copies will be mailed to Larry Shaver and Carlos Patterson, whose generous donations comprise the majority of WVU's Asimov Collection. A copy will also be shared with the WVU Honors College.I hope you enjoy reading these stories as much I did. I have a feeling Isaac would have been proud.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology is a collection of spine-chilling narratives drawn from the darkest corners of the cosmos, where the laws of reality bend and twist, and the veil between the mundane and the macabre is perilously thin. Each tale serves as a portal to an otherworldly realm, where the inexplicable and the terrifying converge to weave a tapestry of cosmic horror. These stories are not bound by the limitations of our known universe; instead, they propel readers into the cosmic unknown, where the echoes of dread and the whispers of the eldritch dance in the shadows. As the curator of this ethereal compendium, I invite you, dear reader, to embark on a journey into the realms beyond the stars. Prepare to encounter malevolent entities, ancient forces, and unspeakable horrors that defy earthly comprehension. These stories are not for the faint of heart; they are tales that grip the soul and elicit a primal fear—a fear that resonates not only with the unknown lurking in the cosmos but also with the depths of the human psyche. In the following pages, you will traverse desolate planets shrouded in perpetual darkness, confront entities that defy the laws of nature, and witness the awakening of malevolent forces that have slumbered for eons. Each story is a portal to a different dimension, a glimpse into the cosmic nightmares that await those who dare to peer beyond the veil.

Book excerpt: "A Song of an Older Time. A Memory Yet to Come. Long ago, the world was One. Everything lived in harmony. All creatures revered the great mother, Gaia. Then the fabric of the world was rent. Spirit was torn from matter by the claws of the Wyrm and the webs of the Weaver. From one world, two were born: the Earth and the Umbra. Werewolves still live between the two worlds. They have one foot in each, yet their home is neither. Great adventures await in the Umbra -- but so does death; the Wyrm has infiltrated the Shadow. The Apocalypse is coming, even in the spirit world. Umbra: The Velvet Shadow is a Werewolf sourcebook detailing the places, spirits and cosmology of the Garou spirit world".

Book excerpt: Umbra is a story of one woman's journey into the wilderness of her own being, a deliciously weird tale, both universal and unique, deeply disturbing, darkly funny, and altogether unforgettable. When Ohno Hoia, an amnesiac solitary seafarer, wakes up on a ship Umbra, the earth is desecrated, and humanity is moored in despair. As she navigates unknown waters for the search of land, she discovers that she's in possession of two extraordinary things: an ancient collection of seeds and a shadow of most wicked and unruly nature.After Ohno lands in a strange new world of modern-day California, she plants a garden the likes of which have not been seen since the days of Eden. As her plants' magical powers break the spell of collective apathy across North America, Ohno's vile shadow begins to threaten everything she holds dear. Through a series of mysterious coincidences and chance encounters, she realizes that the future of humanity is inextricably linked to her unremembered past, and her shadow will never stop plotting to destroy her until she asks the scariest of questions: Who am I?Even if discovering the answers kills her. Even if it already did. An explosive combo of enchanting fairy tale and piercing satire perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman, John Crowley, Kazuo Ishiguro's Buried Giant, and Lewis Carol's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Book excerpt: Keeper of the Lost Cities meets Pokémon in this riveting first book in a middle grade series about a girl who embarks on a treacherous journey with her mystical animal companions to save her family—and the entire kingdom. Twelve-year-old Mia McKenna has grown up in the darkness. It’s all she’s ever known, and she finds comfort in it. Like nearly all the cities in the Kingdom of Lunis, her home of Nubis was plunged into a forever night years ago by the shadowy Reaper King—a figure now only known in nightmares, a cautionary tale warning children to stay safe inside the tall city walls. But all that changes when a mysterious cult storms Nubis, capturing everyone with the ability to protect it—including her parents, the rest of the umbra tamers, and their mystical, powerful creatures made of shadow and starlight. Now, Mia and her brother, Lucas, are the city’s only hope of survival, and Mia must learn to harness her umbra taming abilities to stand any chance of saving her city and rescuing her parents. If she can’t, she’ll lose her soul, and her family, to the Darkness forever.

Book excerpt: After being out of print for decades, Possum Living: How to Live Well Without a Job and (Almost) No Money is being reissued with an afterword by an older and wiser Dolly Freed. In the late seventies, at the age of eighteen and with a seventh-grade education, Dolly Freed wrote Possum Livingabout the five years she and her father lived off the land on a half-acre lot outside of Philadelphia. At the time of its publication in 1978, Possum Living became an instant classic, known for its plucky narration and no-nonsense practical advice on how to quit the rat race and live frugally. In her delightful, straightforward, and irreverent style, Freed guides readers on how to buy and maintain a home, dress well, cope with the law, stay healthy, save money, and be lazy, proud, miserly, and honest, all while enjoying leisure and keeping up a middle-class façade. Thirty years later, Freed's philosophy is world-renowned andPossum Living remains as fascinating, inspirational, and pertinent as it was upon its original publication. This updated edition includes new reflections, insights, and life lessons from an older and wiser Dolly Freed, whose knowledge of how to live like a possum has given her financial security and the confidence to try new ventures.
