Another contest this week and what we have here is for you short fiction lovers! Two lucky people will win a copy of Clockwork Phoenix signed by the editor of the anthology, Mike Allen. Some of the contributors are Catherynne M. Valente, Cat Rambo, Laird Barron, Ekaterina Sedia, John C. Wright and Tanith Lee and is published by Norilana Books.
Not to long ago, we hosted a story from this collection by Leah Bobet entitled Bell, Book, and Candle and you can read that here.
Synopsis:
Author and editor Allen (Mythic) has compiled a neatly packaged set of short stories that flow cleverly and seamlessly from one inspiration to another. In “The City of Blind Delight” by Catherynne M. Valente, a man inadvertently ends up on a train that takes him to an inescapable city of extraordinary wonders. In “All the Little Gods We Are,” Hugo winner John Grant takes a mind trip to possible parallel universes. Modern topics make an appearance among the whimsy and strangeness: Ekaterina Sedia delves into the misunderstandings that occur between cultures and languages in “There Is a Monster Under Helen’s Bed,” while Tanith Lee gleefully skewers gender politics with “The Woman,” giving the reader a glimpse of what might happen if there was only one fertile woman left in a world of men. Lush descriptions and exotic imagery startle, engross, chill and electrify the reader, and all 19 stories have a strong and delicious taste of weird.- Publishers Weekly
