New Title21 stories to keep you awake

RECOGNITION How do you know - anything? Ancestors linger in darkness, held by the attentions of the living; a monk prepares to answer the eternal question; an accident victim loses his memory, another loses something less tangible; one artist dreams of snow, another of the sea – but what do their artefacts dream of? The last performing tiger in the world meets the mob... and then there are the crocodiles... In these shape-shifting stories murderers, sleuths, monks and marketing wonderboys all battle with their unique visions of the world – but who wins, and how will they recognise victory when it comes?

Standing stones and churches, trees and totems, fairytale creatures: dragons, princes, gods, ghosts and elementals from Europe and beyond….. We asked our writers and illustrators to dig deep, find the mythic and magical figures that spoke to them, and show us why they have survived into the New Age.

The Science Fiction Challenge
Birth and death, genetics, evolution and intelligence - natural, artificial and divine: With each new announcement from the world of science shattering more of our traditional assumptions, we asked our writers to look into the future and answer the eternal question of science fiction: What if...? Their answers tell us that far out in the starfields or here on earth, creatures human and otherwise face life-changing dilemmas - souls and systems, organic and inorganic, must lay aside everything we thought we knew and take an unmapped way forward..

Rogue Symphonies
|
An attempted coup d’état fails, but the day of strife is a defining one for a pair of young lovers. In another country a film-maker stoically guards his reels as one revolution follows another. In quieter climes, a butcher faces his violent past, an author battles with an extremely lively book and a new bakery is watched over by a sapient yeast culture: And that’s just five of the twenty tales in this international, multi-genre collection: Lovers, loners and runners forever lead the action, whether their personal stories are played out in 1st World War Britain or the 21st century Middle East.

with islands in mind |
34 stories by the authors short listed in the second Earlyworks Press Short Story Competition. The problems of life and death are shared by all, from the embryonic life which might never reach birth to the planet itself. Why do we have islands in mind? When Nemesis approaches should we think on a planetary scale or look inside ourselves for an answer? Some of these stories look to the future, others turn back to question the demons that have dogged humanity from the dawn of time. Some characters draw together to solve their problems, others become isolated, cut off like islands in a storm. Published by Earlyworks Press ISBN 9780955342943
