On Ingolstadt Island, the INFERNAL ORGANS harvest you! There are, as Eliza Duran knows firsthand, any number of issues that can follow a lung transplant: surgical complications, infections, rejection. But having to confront all of her buried trauma and internalized isolation while attempting to escape a mad scientist's mansion overrun by a horror horde of rampaging organs hellbent on humanity's destruction? That's a new one, even for her. This brisk and brutal Frankenstein retelling, from the guy who ruined the end of the world in the Exponential Apocalypse series, is chock full of blood, guts, and the crippling existential terror that exists at the intersection of disability, capitalism, and societal ableism. Infernal Organs is the only novella about vicious, revivified viscera you'll ever need-and the only one written by someone who's actually had an organ transplant. And we mean, like, ever, in all of recorded history. So that's something it's got going for it, too.

In every laboratory, every experiment, there are two diametrical energies at play: chaos and control. The raw pandemonium of what is, and the diamond-sheen of what could be. And in between? Blood, bones, and broken hearts. Because no equation, no solution, will ever be able to contain the wild entropy of the human soul.Within these pages, you'll find reverse mermaids and vengeful shrew-women and bloated flesh-monsters tearing down the Golden Gate Bridge. A nurse waving a patient into a haunted MRI machine. A reimagined Mary Shelley obsessing about her galvanic guy. The dead will come back, organs will grow where you least expect them, and "healthy" will be outed as a disease all its own, the most damning by a long mile.Like the highest-born hopes of bodies sacrificed to progress, like the darkest dreams of the brains behind the beakers, mad science knows no bounds.Featuring new fiction from Katharine Duckett, A.T. Greenblatt, Ally Malinenko, Tyler Battaglia, Samantha H. Chung, Jonathan Fortin, Brianna Nicole Frentzko, Josh Hanson, Wade Hunter, M.W. Irving, Pooja Joshi, Andrew Kozma, K.L. Mill, Lena Ng, Robert Perez, Jennifer Lee Rossman, Violet Schwegler, and Nicole M. Wolverton. Edited by Eirik Gumeny.

For fans of SILO and THE HUNGER GAMES, from the cult-favorite author of the EXPONENTIAL APOCALYPSE series.After a secret rendezvous goes fatally awry, store-crossed lovers Rhea and Wren, sixteen-year-olds from opposite sides of the last truck stop in existence, find themselves hunted and on the run, forced to survive in the post-utopian wreckage of an alien-blighted civilization. They'll need to face down the impossible threats of a neverending desert, the atomic insects and sandstorms and the barren nothingness of a world rusted sharp, in search of a city that shouldn't be. The nights are long and the odds are bad, but Wren and Rhea wouldn't have it any other way. They're finally free, reveling in being alone, and together. But happiness is never easy at the end of everything, and soon enough - and with some unexpected help - the teenagers stumble upon a series of cascading discoveries that upend everything they thought they knew, leaving them reeling, reconsidering, and forced to reckon with what they owe the ones they left behind.
