Ejected from the boring comfort of his office chair, Fletcher finds himself astride the bare back of a horse, in front of a safe (that he happens to be cracking), and then . . . in the cabin of a weight-loss camp for kids? Apparently adventures come in all shapes and sizes, and it&’s up to Fletcher to make the most of these, conducted by his alien guide, Tandala, who takes on the corporeal form of a big-boned Jamaican and tends to get distracted by Earth&’s many surprising pleasures (garlic! libraries! love!).But even fantasies can have consequences, and as Fletcher struggles through them, he is cheered and assisted by Wanda Plum, a plucky second-grade teacher who helps him realize what his ultimate role really is on this highly mysterious, infinitely marvelous pale-blue dot in a vast universe.

Mazo y el León
by Richard Stooker Lorenzo Bermejo ThomasPara aprobar su instrucción como hechicero, Mazo debe dirigir a un león a punto de morir de hambre por un corredor de una jaula a otra. Después, tiene que sobrevivir a otro hechicero que le odia y a la diosa de la Luna, que le ama. ¿Cansado de varitas mágicas y de «recetas» con ojo de tritón? Si los ingredientes contienen realmente el poder, efectuamos un experimento de química. Quizá los verdaderos magos imponen su voluntad en el mundo sin trampas. A principios del Neolítico, las escuelas de hechicería enseñaban una potente magia interior. Los cánticos y los adornos podrían engañar a los cazadores primitivos y a los encorvados agricultores, pero no al rey de las bestias. En el fondo, tu fuerza interior proviene del dios o la diosa a la que sirves. En La Reina Luna, un cuento corto para niños pequeños, una hija de leñadores pobres camina hasta una ciudad para ver a la Reina Luna, encontrándose con el rechazo de sus orgullosos habitantes. Sin embargo, cuando se aleja de los vanidosos y poderosos, conoce a una muchacha en un carruaje que insiste en que intercambien sus ropas, y nunca vuelve a ver a su madre ni a su hermano pequeño. Mazo y el León se publicó por primera vez en BARDIC RUNES IX en 1994. Es un cuento corto histórico fantástico que incluye dos regalos: 1. La Reina Luna: un cuento corto escrito para un libro infantil ilustrado. 2. Mazo y el León ~ La Reina Luna entre bastidores: un artículo inédito del autor.

Mañana todavía: Doce distopías para el siglo XXI
by Varios AutoresDoce destacados autores españoles ante el género fantástico más en boga: las distopías o anti-utopías, relatos sobre futuros inciertos, admoniciones políticas y medioambientales, abusos de la tecnología y cualquier tipo de mañana inquietante que nos recuerde por qué todavía estamos a tiempo de no acabar así. Hoy ya no, pero tal vez mañana o pasado mañana... los clásicos podrían reescribirse a conveniencia, las redes sociales podrían marcar la vida de un bebé, la maternidad podría convertirse en una forma de condena, la casta política podría borrar a determinados ciudadanos, la altura de un edificio podría definir nuestra longevidad, los teléfonos móviles podrían empezar, de tan inteligentes, a rebelarse. Y todo intento de evitarlo, todo asomo de revolución, podría acabar pareciendo un esperpento. Sería un mañana inquietante, sí, pero posible. Demasiado posible. En la mejor línea de 1984, Un mundo feliz y Fahrenheit 451, pero también en esa nueva ola que va desde Los juegos del hambre hasta la serie de televisión Black Mirror, estos doce referentes de la distopía en nuestro país han aceptado el reto de imaginar futuros para un siglo XXI que se presenta cada año más incierto. A veces desde el humor, a veces desde una profunda conciencia política o medioambiental, aunando a menudo originalidad y respeto a la tradición y siempre desde una pasión literaria cargada de ambición, las doce narraciones aquí reunidas configuran una antología llamada a marcar un hito en la historia española del género. Porque las distopías no son solo otra moda literaria.Son alarmas, denuncias, sátiras del abismo.Son las armas de hoy contra el mañana.Son las ficciones de la crisis.Todavía. Relatos recogidos en Mañana todavía:- «WeKids», de Laura Gallego.- «Al garete», de Emilio Bueso.- «2084.

Reseñas:«No cabe duda de que esta compilación se hace eco de nuestro presente incierto, y sus historias son frescas y oportunas. Es un buen libro para dar a conocer el género. Y para el lector avisado.»La Vanguardia «[Estos relatos] no solo nos permiten acercarnos a los grandes cultivadores de nuestra ciencia-ficción contemporánea, sino que además nos ayudan a conocer los temores de la sociedad española respecto al futuro.»Yo Dona
