All Hail Our Robot Conquerors!
RRRAWRRR!!! ZZZZZZTTTTT!!! ZZZZAAAAPPPPP!!! The robots of the 50s and 60s science fiction movies and novels captured our hearts and our imaginations. Their clunky, bulbous bodies with their clear domed heads, whirling antennae, and randomly flashing lights staggered ponderously across the screen and page and into our souls—whether as a constant companion or as the invading army threatening to exterminate our world. We can never return to that innocent time, where the robot overlords could be identified by their burning red eyes or our trusty robot sidekick would warn us instantly of danger—or can we? With a touch of nostalgia and a little tongue-in-cheek humor, here are fifteen stories f...
Brandon K. Nobles - Counterpane
Counterpane (And Other Poems) is the second collection of poetry published by the American poet and novelist Brandon Nobles. [Brandon] is a magnificent storyteller; from simple and poignant odes, ballads, to complex narrative stories with grace and depth: a deeply introspective work which succeeds in conveying the entirety of the human condition and traits we all share, feelings we all know well: loss, isolation, longing, desperation, and hope.

It is, at times, intimate and personal, at others broad and universal. It is always conveyed with unmistakable wit and psychological understanding. It is a work not to be missed by fans of poetry and good storytelling in general.

Through their shared experiences these tangible characters undergo the sad, hilarious search for wholeness and security. Set in the stark isolated landscape of Southern Alberta, Eric Freeze's debut collection is a deftly-crafted study of desperate mortals careening through their liminal moments, grasping for certai...
Rejoice
From the bestselling author of the epic Malazan Book of the Fallen, comes a story of mankind's first contact and a warning about our future. An alien AI has been sent to the solar system as representative of three advanced species. Its mission is to save the Earth's ecosystem - and the biggest threat to that is humanity. But we are also part of the system, so the AI must make a choice. Should it save mankind or wipe it out? Are we worth it? The AI is all-powerful, and might as well be a god. So it sets up some conditions. Violence is now impossible. Large-scale destruction of natural resources is impossible. Food and water will be provided for those who really, truly need them. You can't eve...
