Unreal: An Anthology Of Speculative Fiction: Volume 1

Each of the twenty stories is set in its own independent world. So this single book is your ticket to twenty diverse lands where mind-bending things happen! Speculative Fiction is a vast genre, but we have got delicacies from almost every subgenre. There's AI, magic, monkey gods, time travel, vampires, scary organisms, strange hidden-dimension particles, pirates, oppressive governments, ancient temples, weird futuristic tech . . . and of course aliens! These short stories (by the way, none of these are very short) are some really serious works of art. And since this is an anthology, you'll get to meet a bunch of some really terrific authors.
