Fiction River: Universe Between

Edited by Dean Wesley Smith

Between the earth and the sky, between the past and the present, between the musical notes and the silence exist universes. Millions of them. The eighth volume of Fiction River presents thirteen universes, all different, all powerful. From a planetary survey ship moored in an alien ocean to a comic book convention near a strange Louisiana town, each of these universes go somewhere familiar and strange at the same time. Come visit the universe of Fiction River, which Amazing Stories called “a worthy heir to the original anthology series of the 60s and 70s.”

Fiction River Special Edition: Crime

Edited by Kristine Kathryn Rusch

In what promises to be the mystery anthology of 2014, Fiction River Special #1 Crime features stories from the biggest names in mystery. From a twisted tale of greed by masterful writer Kate Wilhelm to a dark tale of murder and betrayal by Shamus-award winner Brendan DuBois, Crime will cover the entire gamut of the mystery genre—cozy to noir. New York Times bestselling author Julie Hyzy joins Edgar-award winner Doug Allyn and several others to create one of the strongest (and most diverse) anthologies of the season.

“Hitler’s Dogs” by Doug Allyn
“Wheel of Fortune” by Steve Hockensmith
“The Good Brother” by Brendan DuBois
“FoL” by Kristine Kathryn Rusch
“These Boots Were Made for Murder” by Julie Hyzy

“Fiction River: Crime edited by Kristine Kathryn Rusch leads off with strong new tales by three familiar EQMM contributors: Doug Allyn with a gangster whodunnit, Steve Hockensmith with a con game story, and Brendan DuBois with a fresh variation on the old brothers-who-took-different-paths ploy. A sampling of other contents, including experimental short-shorts by Melissa Yi and M. Elizabeth Castle and a clever turn on the greedy-relatives-want-inheritance by Kate Wilhelm, suggest high quality throughout.”
