(4.00 from 1 review)
We have always made monsters: in art, in myth, in religion; out of clay or bronze, pixels or hybrid flesh; from the stuff of human nightmares; by cursing women with bestial traits. This anthology brings together fiction and accessible academic writing in conversation about monsters and their roles in our lives—and ours in theirs.

The Mediterranean is a liquid road connecting places and people. Ships, words and stories travel on its waves—sometimes fantastic creatures, hide in the hold. This speculative fiction anthology collects twenty-four pieces of bizarre, dark fiction and poetry, new and old; caring sea monsters, still dripping and briny; brave mermaids, merciless ghosts and bizarre creatures.

Fifteen stories and nine independent illustrations tell beautiful, speculative stories of disability and mental illness in the future.

Price: $5.00 USD. Words: 76,840. Language: English. Published: June 8, 2014 by Futurefire.net Publishing. Categories: Fiction » Science fiction » Utopias & dystopias, Fiction » Anthologies » Short stories - multi-author
Sixteen speculative stories on the themes of colonialism and cultural imperialism share the experience of being the silent voices in history and on the wrong side of the final frontier; their fantasies of a reality in which straight, cis, able-bodied, rich, anglophone, white males don’t get to tell us how they won every war; their revenge against the alien oppressor settling their “new world".

Price: $5.00 USD. Words: 57,860. Language: English. Published: May 18, 2014 by Futurefire.net Publishing. Categories: Fiction » Anthologies » Short stories - multi-author, Fiction » Science fiction » Cyberpunk
An anthology of short stories that ask how will bodies be controlled in the future? What kinds of bodies, modifications, choices will be repressed or compulsory? How does transgressing norms of body-identity make us who we are? Nine authors explore these themes through speculative stories that touch on gender, sexuality, sexual identity, disability, self-image, prosthetics and robotics.
