A Terra do Sempre Está Morta
by Tony Bertauski Pedro Henrique LealSeis garotas adolescentes acordam sem memórias. Uma delas está em uma mansão de tijolos, seus cabelos loiros tão brilhantes quanto seus sapatos. As outras estão em uma cabana, com seus nomes etiquetados no interior de suas calças. Suas cabeças, raspadas. Talhos marcam a parede da cabana, como se alguém estivesse contando. Centenas deles. Ao seu redor, mata selvagem e uma adulta morta. As garotas encontram seu corpo apodrecendo em algum lugar em meio as árvores. Conforme as semanas passam, elas se unem para sobreviver ao frio, questionando onde estão e como foram parar lá. E por quê. Quando um velho chega acompanhado de um adolescente, as garotas aprendem a respeito de uma ilha longínqua chamada Terra do Sempre, onde os sonhos se tornam realidade e tudo é possível. Mas a Terra do Sempre está morta. Para fugir da vastidão selvagem, terão de compreender onde estão. E mais importante, quem elas são.
A Terrible Beauty
by Nancy BakerA fairy tale with bite—vampire-style. “Don’t hold your breath waiting for Disney to film this very adult and erotic version of Beauty and the Beast.” —Winnipeg Free Press “Will you give me your blood to drink, though you die of it?” In an unexpected twist on a fairy tale, an artist goes into the wilderness to fulfill his father’s debt and finds himself the prisoner of a dangerously beautiful inhuman monster. “A Terrible Beauty is modern Canadian Gothic . . . Nancy Baker shows her mastery of the form—the mysterious letter, the journey into the wilderness, the shadows that hide from the flickering firelight—and her real affection for a good ol’ fashioned vampire yarn.” —The Telegraph Journal (Saint John) “Baker’s narrative is seductive and compelling. Like Rice, she transcends the horror genre.” —Province Showcase (Vancouver) “A polished and enchanting tale . . . It is, in a word, breathtaking.” —Ottawa Citizen “Baker’s prose is lush and sensual . . . she has a real gift for making the fantastic seem plausible and investing the mundane with eerie significance.” —Toronto Sun “A very interesting and unique take on Beauty and the Beast.” —SFFP Romance

A Thousand Deaths: Stories
by George Alec EffingerScience fiction stories that offer &“a poignant glimpse into the author&’s psyche . . . this bittersweet collection [is] one to be cherished&” (Publishers Weekly). When we first meet Courane, he must face down TECT, the self-aware computer that has come to control Earth and its colonial planets. Exiled to Planet D, Courane races to cure the debilitating disease that attacks each of the planet&’s residents, even as his own memory begins to fade. Unfortunately, his only source of information about the illness is TECT itself, and the computer&’s agenda doesn&’t seem to line up with Courane&’s. In the seven other stories contained in A Thousand Deaths, Courane begins to blur reality and fiction as Effinger expertly plays with narrative conventions. However, these are not simply the whims of a science fiction writer; they are the frameworks the Nebula and Hugo Award–nominated author uses to answer questions about existence no one else even thought to ask. While George Alec Effinger&’s Budayeen novel When Gravity Fails is perhaps his most famous work, his lesser-known novel The Wolves of Memory remained his favorite. In it, he introduced readers to Sandor Courane, an everyman and Effinger stand-in who struggles as he swims against the currents of fate. In life and in his multiple deaths, Sandor Courane serves as the unifying force in this collection of Effinger&’s stories, starting with The Wolves of Memory and getting ever more clever and off the wall from there.
