Never Whistle at Night: Are You Ready to Be Un-Settled?
by Shane Hawk Theodore C. Van Alst Jr.A bold, clever, and sublimely sinister collection that dares to ask the question: &“Are you ready to be un-settled?&” Featuring stories by: Norris Black • Amber Blaeser-Wardzala • Phoenix Boudreau • Cherie Dimaline • Carson Faust • Kelli Jo Ford • Kate Hart • Shane Hawk • Brandon Hobson • Darcie Little Badger • Conley Lyons • Nick Medina • Tiffany Morris • Tommy Orange • Mona Susan Power • Marcie R. Rendon • Waubgeshig Rice • Rebecca Roanhorse • Andrea L. Rogers • Morgan Talty • D.H. Trujillo • Theodore C. Van Alst Jr. • Richard Van Camp • David Heska Wanbli Weiden • Royce Young Wolf • Mathilda ZellerMany Indigenous people believe that one should never whistle at night. This belief takes many forms: for instance, Native Hawaiians believe it summons the Hukai&’po, the spirits of ancient warriors, and Native Mexicans say it calls Lechuza, a witch that can transform into an owl. But what all these legends hold in common is the certainty that whistling at night can cause evil spirits to appear—and even follow you home.These wholly original and shiver-inducing tales introduce readers to ghosts, curses, hauntings, monstrous creatures, complex family legacies, desperate deeds, and chilling acts of revenge. Introduced and contextualized by bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones, these stories are a celebration of Indigenous peoples&’ survival and imagination, and a glorious reveling in all the things an ill-advised whistle might summon.

Neverness
by David Zindell[from inside flaps] Comparable to Frank Herbert's Dune in imaginative sweep and technical virtuosity, Neverness is a science fiction masterwork that is sure to establish David Zindell as one of the genre's premier talents. For the reader who enters the pages of Neverness, there awaits a world of stunning complexity: a world in which the evolutionary possibilities open to mankind are presented in marvelously rich detail, from the seemingly primitive Alaloi, whose genes have "back-mutated" to give them the appearance of Neanderthals; to the sophisticated Order of Pilots, which reworks the laws of time and physics to slingshot its members through dense regions of "thickspace"; to the Solid State Entity, a nebula-sized brain composed of moon-sized biocomputers analogous to neurons; to the Ieldra, a mythical race of aliens that eons ago seeded the galaxy with its DNA and initiated the evolutionary cycle. Standing at the center of the novel is Mallory Ringess, headstrong novitiate of the Order of Pilots, who against all odds navigates a maze of interspatial passageways to penetrate the Solid State Entity. When he returns to his native Neverness, it is with the conviction that the secret of the Ieldra--a guarded pool of knowledge that can unlock the secret of immortality--may be found among the Alaloi. He then leads a quest that will see him bludgeoned to death, cryogenically frozen, then resurrected as half man, half biocomputer--kin of sorts to the Solid State Entity. It is in the novel's dramatic final pages that Mallory will be asked to discard the last vestiges of humanity in return for mankind's ultimate salvation."
