New Releases

Samhain has arrived. The Aegeon machine-elves have worked overtime to provide you with a special Halloween edition. Feel the cockles of your heart valves warming, carbon-dumplings. But BEWARE. This issue has nothing but doom, gloom, chills, frights, horrors, and lamenting dirges. A funeral march of despair, from moment one to the finish, where the pall bearers are as dead as the deceased, and the choir are howling werewolves. Where the sun goes all-black and Typhon raises from Tartarus a storm that captures souls in a black whirlwind.

Nephilim is a Guardian Angel, one of the cybernetically enhanced super-soldiers, created to protect and destroy. Protect the Olympias Conglomerate, the mega-corporation that owns them, and destroy its enemies– at any cost. Nephilim is ruthless, sexy, and the best of these elite cyborgs–an unstoppable killing machine. But like all of her kind, she wasn’t born like that; she was made.

Der Fluch… So schnell es geht, muss ich den Schaden an meinem Schiff beheben und diesen Planeten verlassen. Nachts finde ich nur in der Kirche Zuflucht und werde zum Stein. Ausgerechnet SIE begegnet mir dort. So süß, so harmlos, so lecker und so menschlich. Gerade als ich alles hinter mir lassen und abhauen will, erlöst sie mich von meiner jahrelangen Pein. Damit ist unser Schicksal endgültig besiegelt…

H. G. Wells (1866-1946) was fascinated with imagined realities, alien worlds that intersect with human life, and the human condition developing throughout generations. With his keen observation of human behavior, Wells imagines worlds vastly different than the one in which he was writing.

James Sallis moves with ease among genres and modes: novels, stories, poetry, criticism, musicology, biography, translation. Best known perhaps as a crime writer—author of Drive and the six Lew Griffin novels along with others—his first acclaim came in the 1960s from groundbreaking short stories in science fiction publications like Michael Moorcock’s New Worlds, for which he served for a time as editor, and Damon Knight’s Orbit anthologies.
