Dry Land
by B. PladekAs the Great War rages across Europe, Rand Brandt, an idealistic young forester in the northwoods of Wisconsin, discovers a remarkable gift: his touch can grow any plant in minutes. Overjoyed, he dreams of devoting his life to conservation, restoring to its former glory a landscape devastated by lumbering. At night, Rand tests his powers, pushing his physical limits and revealing his secret only to his lover, Gabriel. But his frequent absences from camp don’t go unnoticed, and it isn’t long before Rand is drafted to grow timber for the war effort. Along with Gabriel, he’s shipped to France—though the army is a dangerous place for two men in love. While at camp, Rand also realizes the true price of his gift: everything he grows withers and dies, leaving the soil empty of all living matter. Horrified, he throws himself into ever more self-destructive trials, buckling under the pressure of so many secrets. In order to survive, he must confront the terrifying possibility that his gift is actually a curse, upending everything he believes about nature, love, and himself.

Fortunately, the world is full of rich fools begging to be parted from their money. And so Edgin and Holga do what any sensible entrepreneurs would do—they form a crew.

It also highlights the contribution of women authors to Arabic speculative fiction. This book enriches the conversation about what is quite possibly a significant speculative fiction turn in the Arabic novel, as well as provides a new theoretical approach to read such complex and innovative literature.

Ecos antiguos - Romance paranormal (contenido adulto)
by Katrina Bowlin-MacKenzieOyó y sintió el golpe de un cuerpo pesado sobre la cama. Respiración, una respiración áspera, tan fuerte que era ensordecedora. Podía oír a la criatura, al demonio, fuera lo que fuera, husmeando en la cama. Buscándola, buscándola. Phaedra se quedó tumbada en la oscuridad, debajo de la cama, respirando en silencio, tratando de recuperar sus sentidos y de decidir cuál era la mejor forma de actuar. Oyó el ruido de los muelles de la cama y supo que debía hacer algo, cualquier cosa, y rápido. Comenzó a arrastrarse a cuatro patas hacia el vestidor, quizás encontrando allí algún refugio. La cosa había aterrizado en el suelo detrás de ella. Podía oír olfateos y pisadas, detrás de ella parecía que la seguía. Al entrar en el armario, cerró la puerta tras de sí, pero algo la detuvo e impidió que se cerrara. Ahora podía ver unos ojos que brillaban en la oscuridad, asomándose por la puerta entreabierta. Ojos que brillaban, ojos amarillos, se quedó paralizada de miedo, sin aliento. Esta es una fantasía paranormal, no un romance paranormal tradicional. No encaja en el formato establecido de una paranormal/romance.
