NEW BOOK:
WHY NEW YORKERS SMOKE
New Yorkers have many things to fear – Real and Imagined.
New York City is a place where just about anything can happen at any moment, but it really takes a bit of imagination to present it as it is now and will be tomorrow. For example, one story is alternative history where Osama is still alive and well – living in NYC and getting heavily into speed-dating. In another tale New Yorkers hide from nebulous invaders in the 14th Street subway station; then there is the Latino taxi driver who becomes the Wandering Dutchman of Lower Manhattan after the towers fall. You will also meet a post-9/11 Golem, and see how a 100-year recession forces chilling changes to “social services’ at a ghetto church.
WHY NEW YORKERS SMOKE is edited by Luis Ortiz and features stories by Barry Malzberg, Carol Emshwiller, Paul di Filippo, Scott Edelman, Don Webb and others; and will be available in print, eBook, and Kindle editions. See our Product Page to order your copy.

NEW BOOK:
MEETING THE DOG GIRLS
Stories by Gay Partington Terry
Like Gaiman’s Fragile Things, I found myself quickly turning pages of short little snippets that came to feel like personal friends.” – Truth in the Book Vault
A THIEF, languishing in prison for stealing moments, escapes and becomes a chronometric fugitive. Women wait in a long, endless line, night and day, without knowing what is at the beginning of the line. An otherworldly marble called the Ustek Cloudy passes through the hands of Ambrose Bierce, Amelia Earhart, and D. B. Cooper just before they each disappear off the face of the earth. Whether they are called fantasy, magical realism, science fiction, or brilliant parodies, the stories in this collection—the first from Gay Terry—blend the real and the fantastic in an imaginative and mischievous way. Written in the tradition of Ray Bradbury, Angela Carter, and Edgar Allan Poe, these contemporary fables present remarkable characters trapped in unusual situations. (ISBN 978-1933065-30-4; Trade paperback, $14.95. Also available in Kindle and Epub format.) See our Product Page to order your copy.
