Download or read book Squid Squad written by Matthew Welton and published by Carcanet Press Ltd. This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year 2020 A Telegraph Book of the Year 2020 In Squid Squad: A Novel we join Natalie Chatterley, Angus Mingus, Nerys Harris and friends as they make recordings of the doorbell, uncrumple their cash and fling their walnuts from the window. They contemplate the spaces between the spaces between things and compare the rhythm of rhetoric to the rhetoric of rhythm, while around them chickens feed on chestnuts, nuthatches nest in bicycle baskets, and budgerigars sulk themselves to sleep. The second half features shorter stand-alone poems. Here, poetic form is given a playful reworking: a poem to be spoken in a single breath, a poem made entirely of questions, a series of three poems in the form of university mark schemes, and poems that explore the possibilities of the list as a verse form.

Book excerpt: Science Fiction is the genre that looks at the implications of technology on society, which in this age of exponential technological growth makes it the most relevant branch of literature going. This is only the start, and the close of the 21st century will look absolutely nothing like its inception. It has been said that science fiction is an ongoing dialogue about the future, and the front line of that dialogue is the short story. The field has a long history of producing famous anthologies to showcase its distinguished short fiction, but it has been several years since there has been a prestigious all-original science fiction anthology series. Fast Forward is offered in the tradition of Damon Knight’s prestigious and influential anthology series, Orbit, and Frederik Pohl’s landmark Star SF. Fast Forward marks the start of a new hard science fiction anthology series, dedicated to presenting the vanguard of the genre and charting the undiscovered country that is the future. Contributors scheduled for the first volume include: Kage Baker, Paolo Bacigalupi, Tony Ballantyne, Stephen Baxter, Elizabeth Bear, A. M. Dellamonica, Paul Di Filippo, Robyn Hitchcock, Louise Marley, Ken MacLeod, Ian McDonald, John Meaney, Larry Niven and Brenda Cooper, Mike Resnick and Nancy Kress, Justina Robson, Pamela Sargent, Mary A. Turzillo, Robert Charles Wilson, Gene Wolfe, and George Zebrowski.

Book Not One of Us

  • Author : Neil Clarke
  • Publisher : Start Publishing LLC
  • Release : 2018-11-06
  • ISBN : 159780651X
  • Pages : 857 pages

Download or read book Not One of Us written by Neil Clarke and published by Start Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 857 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mankind comes face to face with extraterrestrial life in this short fiction reprint anthology from Clarkesworld publisher Neil Clarke. They Are Strangers from Far Lands . . . Science fiction writers have been using aliens as a metaphor for the other for over one hundred years. Superman has otherworldly origins, and his struggles to blend in on our planet are a clear metaphor for immigration. Earth’s adopted son is just one example of this “Alien Among Us” narrative. There are stories of assimilation, or the failure to do so. Stories of resistance to the forces of naturalization. Stories told from the alien viewpoint. Stories that use aliens as a manifestation of the fears and worries of specific places and eras. Stories that transcend location and time, speaking to universal issues of group identity and its relationship to the Other. Nearly thirty authors in this reprint anthology grapple both the best and worst aspects of human nature, and they do so in utterly compelling and entertaining ways. Not One of Us is a collection of stories that aren’t afraid to tackle thorny and often controversial issues of race, nationalism, religion, political ideology, and other ways in which humanity divides itself.

He has big ideas for change in his kingdom and wants to be completely different from his father. He has never known love and hopes that he will find it, so that he didn’t suffer the same fate as his parents—his father always waking up in another Maid’s bed, and his mother constantly embarrassed by his actions. Nautia “Tia” Seastar is a siren with the talent to make it big! She’s been training for a long time, getting ready for the big showcase that would make her famous and take her and her mama out of the projects. But when she gets the chance of a lifetime, she finds out that fame isn’t all that it seems. And that the ones that she thought were on her side all had their own agendas—at the expense of her talent. Rainey Oceanus believes that her Familiar, Tia, is on her way to big things. And she does everything that she can to support her, knowing that she’ll be right beside her at the top... enjoying the glitz and the glamour that she was made for. But when her true nature and secrets come out, she may never get to filter her little taste of fame through her gills. Behind every great Merman is an even greater Mermaid, and Nay and Ty find themselves enchanted with a siren whose soul brings out the Sea Lord in them. But their bond may be broken when the tragedies that they face, and the desire for real love, bring out the differences in them. Will Naeco be able to break generational curses, or follow the current of the blood that courses through his vein? When tragedy hits, does Typhoon find out that change can bring about more bad than good?
