Pulp sci-fi is back! In the tradition of classic science fiction literature from the magazines of the 1950s and 1960s, Kevin Carr (13 TURNS and UNDERBRUSH) brings you a collection of bizarre speculative fiction. A teleportation malfunction threatens to disrupt the very fabric of humanity... an uncanny future in which human beings have forgotten how to read and use robots to do it for them... a tale of a mysterious hero with a special power... a story of what to do with the most dangerous weapon in the universe... an enigma faced by time-traveling Nazis... the bitter look at changing the future - and the past - in the digital age... the last hope of humanity to restart man's conquest into space... the musing of a physicist put into practice with terrifying results... a revolution of the body's politics. This anthology includes a rare reprinting of Carr's first published story ("The Ghost Readers") in the science fiction marketplace as well as contemporary cautionary tales of the future. Enjoy this selection of stories in the grand tradition of science fiction and fantasy from the 20th century.

The Gravedigger's Daughter: Ghost stories and other otherworldly tales by Donald Olson (Lume Books) (68 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

Ghosts gay and straight, living and dead, haunt the pages of this collection of tales set in five different locales and time periods. Victorian London is the background for The Gravedigger's Daughter, a novella-length thriller about an impoverished young woman raised in a cemetery and forced into the ghoulish life of a grave robber. In Uncle Jack, the penniless nephew of a 1950s film star inherits his dead uncle's mid-century modern house in Beverly Hills and gradually realizes that he is not the only one laying claim to the estate. In The Selfie of Doralynne Gray, a selfie-obsessed woman is taken hostage by her own image. A restoration project on a 500-year-old manor in Provence draws antiques-dealer Michael Fischer, the title character in Michael's St. Michael into a terrifying encounter with a violent and unquiet past. And when a homophobic teenager named Slayde destroys his gay neighbour's cherished collection of garden gnomes, he learns to his horror that the gnomes in Gnome Man's Land are not the gentle creatures everyone thinks they are. Praise for Donald Olson: 'Gay or straight, readers of all persuasions will enjoy this romp through the idiosyncrasies of human nature' - Robin Karr-Morse, author of Ghosts from the Nursery Donald S. Olson is a novelist, playwright and travel writer. His published novels include The Secrets of Mabel Eastlake, the first trans-thriller, and the internationally published rom-coms My Three Husbands and Memoirs Are Made of This, written as Swan Adamson.
