Mortality Bridge
by Steven R. Boyett&“Niko&’s race through Hell is one of the greatest supernatural adventure stories of recent memory. . . . A damned good story&” (Cory Doctorow). Decades ago, a young rock and blues guitarist and junkie named Niko signed in blood on the dotted line and in return became the stuff of music legend. But when the love of his damned life grows mortally and mysteriously ill, he realizes he has lost more than he bargained for—and that was not part of the deal. So Niko sets out on a harrowing journey from the streets of Los Angeles through the downtown subway tunnels and across the red-lit plain of the most vividly realized hell since Dante to play the gig of his mortgaged life and win back the purloined soul of his lost love.Mortality Bridge remixes Orpheus, Dante, Faust, the Crossroads legend, and more in a beautiful, brutal, and surprisingly funny quest across a Hieronymus Bosch landscape of myth, music, and mayhem, and across an inner terrain of addiction, damnation, and redemption. Winner of the 2011 Emperor Norton Award for best novel by a San Francisco Bay Area writer.

Mortarville
by Grant BailieMortarville tells the story of a man named "John Smith." ordinary in every way except for one: he was born from a test tube. With this richly imaginative premise, Grant Bailie takes us on an incredible journey through John's life, from a childhood spent in a secret underground government facility with other test-tube boys, who are prepared for life in the outside world by reading comic books and watching television shows, to his bond with a gorilla named Abigail. After John's fellow artificial inmates riot and destroy their underground home, John, now an adult, takes up residence in Mortarville, a decaying industrial city, where he lives the most mundane of existences, working a job as head of security in a mall. However, no matter how hard he tries to fit in to the real world, John cannot shake his past, and in the end, it is that past which literally carries him away. An amazing and fantastical work that marries the innocence of Pinocchio with the futuristic horror of Brave New World, Mortarville explores the fundamental question of what it means to be human in a world that is losing its humanity.Grant Baile's first novel, Cloud 8, was called "mad, fascinating, and really quite moving" by Kirkus Reviews, and "tender and introspective" by Boston's Weekly Dig. A resident of Cleveland, Grant's short fiction has been published in numerous places both print and online, including McSweeney's.

Morte
by Robert RepinoThe "war with no name" has begun, with human extinction as its goal. The instigator of this war is the Colony, a race of intelligent ants who, for thousands of years, have been silently building an army that would forever eradicate the destructive, oppressive humans. Under the Colony's watchful eye, this utopia will be free of the humans' penchant for violence, exploitation and religious superstition. The final step in the Colony's war effort is transforming the surface animals into high-functioning two-legged beings who rise up to kill their masters. Former housecat turned war hero, Mort(e) is famous for taking on the most dangerous missions and fighting the dreaded human bio-weapon EMSAH. But the true motivation behind his recklessness is his ongoing search for a pre-transformation friend--a dog named Sheba. When he receives a mysterious message from the dwindling human resistance claiming Sheba is alive, he begins a journey that will take him from the remaining human strongholds to the heart of the Colony, where he will discover the source of EMSAH and the ultimate fate of all of earth's creatures.
Morte di un unicorno
by Nadia Dantes Stefano VazzolaNell'anno 2050 furono scoperti gli unicorni, ma non erano né innocenti né belli. Certo, erano bianchi, avevano un corno che poteva curare ogni male e potevano essere attirati allo scoperto solo da una vergine. Ma le somiglianze fra gli unicorni veri e il mito si fermavano qui. Non è mai esistito un essere più corrotto e avido dell'unicorno. Hanno distrutto il mondo, ed è solamente distruggendoli tutti che il mondo potrà tornare quello di prima. Ringrazierò sempre che non siano belli o innocenti. Se lo fossero, potrei sentirmi in colpa per le cose che devo fare. In qualità di Vergine Cavaliere, cacciarli fino all'estinzione non è solo un dovere per me, è un piacere.
