Böcker av Liam Hogan

A brand new collection of science fiction and fantasy stories from Wyldblood Press.We kick off with Liam Hogan's Vanishing Village, a weird and unsettling supernatural tale. The moral of the story? Beware locals offering gifts of food and drink in a crowded pub at the middle of a mysterious semi-abandoned village in the middle of nowhere. Also beware selkies bent on revenge - and see how Elisabeth Kauffman tackles that sea-sodden subject in Foundering Fate. Next up we have Egyptian writer Amal El Sayed with thoughtful and hard-hitting fantasy tale of ancient conflict: Unmask Me won't be a story you'll quickly forget. We get lighter then - Steve Burford's Knock Knock takes us in to the mind of a newly sentient AI with a sense of humour. Tee Linden's Metamorphosis takes us back into darker territory - a fantasy tale of forest whisperings and discovery. Speaking of forests, we also have Dawn Vogel's Family Tree and Elana Gomel's Forests of Day and Night so there's definitely a theme emerging - both thoughtful fantasies from regular Wyldblood contributors. Suspended Sentence by Maureen Bowden is all about trying to escape your fate, and, lastly Gardens, Ghosts and War by H.L. Fullerton continues the nature theme, but this time there's a mysterious sword and a kid who can see dead people. No, not that story. Definitely no Bruce Willis.Add a couple of drabbles and our regular review and views columns and that's Wyldblood 14.

A collection of thirteen Steampunk stories full of high adventure and sumptuously surreal settings, We''ve got airships and mechanical men, a hint of magic and a strong smell of steam and gunsmoke. Our stories are set throughout time (and space) but most are rooted in a classic Victorian world that didn''t quite exist, where everything is slightly sepia toned and the view from the gondola of the skyship is exquisite.Stories by K.G. Anderson, David Castlewitz, Rhonda Eikamp, Liam Hogan, Valerie Hunter, Wendy Nikel, Riv Rains, Jennifer Lee Rossman, Holly Schofield, Lisa Short, Karina Steffens, Rose Strickman and Dawn Vogel,

Ten tales of horror and dark fantasy, each with the retro-vintage flair readers have come to appreciate from the Curiosities anthology series. A poet makes a passage with death. A solitary monster meets another. Nazi war experiments run amuck on the Eastern Front. Unsettling sounds follow you through the New England woods. A sea captain takes in a mermaid, though it may be his doom. One very monstrous clock. And more.From the gothic to the grotesque, these exhibits will have you trading your steampunk browns for gothic blacks, and back again.
