The Martian Women by Tyree Campbell
Five generations of humans have settled on Mars. Society has passed through various stages: pioneer, settlement, and now industrial. Women, equals in society if not by law at the onset of colonization, are once again subservient.
Except Teresa Minerva Timberlake.
Born during a hellacious sandstorm, raised by a legendary woman, impulsive to a fault, Traci Timberlake discovers a way to travel to the distant stars, to free humanity to explore and seek its destiny. The corporations of the Inner Solar System are willing to kill Timberlake and her apprentice, Allan O'Toole, to suppress publication and prevent dissemination of this discovery.
But Traci is a fifth-generation Martian woman, and she has the history and the accomplishments of four female ancestors to call on for help, courage, and inspiration. The courtroom trial scene of Traci Timberlake is one you will never forget.
The Martian Women is a novella published in trade paperback format.

The Missionary by Sandra C. Stixrude
Father Gabriel arrives on Altair Tertia, where three previous missionaries have failed to do God's work, including Father Julius, whom the natives tried to stuff into a tree. The natives look like winged angels without reproductive organs. And they answer to an authority that may be higher than Father Gabriel's.
So what's a missionary to do when he has to convert an entire planet? Not just the people . . . but the actual, whole planet.
It's a question of authority . . .

The Mouths that Remain by Gavin Salisbury
"The Mouths That Remain is Gavin Salisbury's major collection of speculative poetry. His work is cutting-edge incisive, and always travels "the view not taken." Think David Kopaska-Merkel with an English accent. It's for those who don't want to eat the whole box of chocolate, but could stand the maple creams and one or two of the nougats."

My Adventures As Brother Rat By Lin Yao, Dowager Queen, Land of Five Dragons by Lenora Rain-Lee Good
Yes, that's a long title. Just think of it as BROTHER RAT. Under any title, though, this is still a great novel. Think "Mulan," if you will. It takes place in ancient China, a tale about a girl who passes herself off as a boy. Sherry Decker, co-author of the Rusty the Robot stories, says, ". . . a mesmerizing tale of an orphaned Chinese girl who quickly learns she stands a better chance of survival disguised as a boy, and adopts the nickname Brother Rat. Over the years she excels in many incarnations, as soldier, horse trainer, healer, and as tactful ambassador. Dressed as a beautiful young woman she attracts and marries a prince. Her adventures as his queen are both noble and daring. Brother Rat risks all for the lives of the kingdom and becomes a living legend. This is an exciting, epic story . . . once begun, it cannot be put down."

My Friend, The Poet by Terrie Leigh Relf
The collection focuses on poetry about and/or inspired by people she knows or think she knows or who know her. The collection is so extensive that even you--yes, YOU--may be in there somewhere. Consider, for example, some of the titles in this collection:
My friend, the storm maker
My friend, who writes in her dreams
My friend who’s not from earth
My friend, the literary genius who wants to do me in the back of his Jeep Cherokee
My friend who turns blue when she sees pyramids
As Relf writes: "Are these people real? Did this stuff really happen? I’ve heard it said that some things are just too weird to have been made up, other events are just too mundane to have been made up, and the rest, well, it’s “just” poetry, and so it may be all purely invention."
Or not.
So come find out who's who in the life of this off-beat free spirit.

Nyx by Tyree Campbell (novel)
Meet Nyx. She's alone on a remote world in the midst of an internecine struggle for resources. She's been ordered to kill someone who has not been identified. The nemesis who haunts her past is in charge of the opposition. An anthropologist wants her ass. A professional killer wants the rest of her. And she can't swim in the rivers.
She's a special operative with carte blanche to stack bodies like cordwood, if necessary, to accomplish her mission. Training and a dark past have emptied her of all emotions. Trust is a tool. Sex is a weapon. Loyalty is a blunt instrument. And there is no place whatsoever for sentiment in her work.
Until now.
Meet the Malasy. Lemuroid, humanoid, intelligent, sentient, sentimental. They are covered with chinchilla-like fur. Truth is a must in interpersonal relations, and erotic stimulation is the human equivalent of a handshake. Nyx has to work among them. Her life is about to change. It's dangerous, even fatal, to become her friend. But it is always fatal to be her enemy.

On the Other Side of the Eye by Bryan Thao Worra
This is a collection of speculative poetry. Here's a glimpse of it, taken from the review by Edward Cox: ". . . the jewel of part II is 'Five Fragments,' which also forms the collection’s longest poem. Set at a war exhibition, this piece suggests that our reason for solving problems is so we can create room to make the same mistakes again. History is selective in the minds of humans, and like fads, we chose to scrutinise single instances when history is an ocean filled with identical droplets. Teaching and schooling amount to nothing when the execution of war becomes as fast and fleeting as the next computer upgrade. The world has become almost question-less, lost within its own apathy, and Worra makes us wonder where we go from here."

Ossuary, a poetry collection by JoSelle Vanderhooft, based on art by Erzebet YellowBoy
Ossuary is a poetic tribute to the bone panels, bone scrolls and other art of artist, writer and publisher Erzebet YellowBoy. The twenty-four poems in the collection center upon the themes of decay and transformation in much the same way YellowBoy's work does. Some draw upon world myth and fairy tale, from the dismembering of Osiris in "Osiris, Seed-Scattered" to the schemes of the Greek Fates in "The Moriae's Tools" to numerous permutations of "Sleeping Beauty," YellowBoy's favorite fairy tale which follow the heroine's descent through dreams and her numerous transformations in body, mind and soul.
Additionally Ossuary seeks to explore the natural world from which the artist draws inspiration – the season's cycles, nature's mystery and, of course, the inevitability of death and the transforming process of decay. In Ossuary, the reader will find such things as the wizened beauty of an old woman tending her garden, descents through the grave's loamy underworld, and the phoenix-like bursting of a bush into flame.

Phasing by 7ARS
PHASING is an odyssey of art that takes you from the very beginning, and Santitoro's initial efforts with horses and angst, to the superb illustrations she does today that capture emotion, mood, and atmosphere like no other contemporary illustrator. You'll see the ragged street girl of "Help Wanted" become the immigrant waif in the holds of the ship for "Steerage," a poem in Karen Romanko's Stoker-recommended chapbook, Raven's Runes. And you'll see how Santitoro's minimalist poetry skills carry over into her art. With just a glimpse of legs and ankles, with just a pair of bound wrists, she conveys a vibrant sensuality in freeze-frame moments of sizzling emotions, as in "Allusions" and "Bigfoot's Love Slave." And she takes on various taboos in "Date With A Droid" and "Young Love."
Includes 8 color interior illustrations

The Poet's Workshop - and Beyond by Terrie Leigh Relf, M.A.
Terrie Leigh Relf, M.A., distills years of teaching and writing experience into a coherent yet entertainingly off-beat presentation of how to compose speculative poetry, what to do with it once you have composed it, and how to keep it from decomposing. Each section, from "Ordering Chaos" [with a side of Catastrophe, please, and hold the olives] to "The Kung Fu of Writing," from "Plotting with Playdough" to Unzipping a Rengay, is high on specifics and often includes anecdotal encouragement and examples that drive home the precise point she is making. This handbook contains everything you ever wanted to know about composing poetry, but were afraid to ask.

Pretty by Philip S. Meckley
Alice travels to England to study English, meets a handsome stranger, and visits him in his manor. The place is so large that there is no end to its secrets, and Alice soon finds herself embroiled in the most sordid of them. It's best just to stay under the covers when things go bump in the night, but she can't do that.
Because she's the one that's going bump.
There's no rabbit hole at Ensleigh Manor, but Alice falls anyway, into a nightmare she cannot escape. Because, you see, it's not a nightmare that she has fallen into. It's reality.
Illustrated by 7ARS, Philip S. Meckley's tale of unimaginable horror takes the reader directly into a Wodehouse world with all the trappings of the English upper crust. Meckley, a collector of ghost stories, is always looking for the perfect scare. With "Pretty," perhaps he can stop looking.

The Puppets of Low Magic by Lorraine Pinelli Brown
The late 17th/early 18th centuries marked a time of awakening, with the birth of institutions of higher learning, yet the most enlightened of that time spent their cognitive brilliance debating how many angels could fit upon the head of a pin. Satan was ubiquitous, and he was known to have appeared in many forms. He was thought forever present on the earth, a wolf amongst God's holy sheep; watching, waiting for his chance to corrupt the faithful. Temptation loomed— witchcraft was actually practiced— and good men prayed hard for deliverance from Beelzebub and his foul minions.
Rachel Mapes is a Puritan woman who, upon accident of birth, receives an IQ of 160. She has a level of understanding that would take others years of book-learning to achieve. She is able to make connections where it would seem no connection was possible. She possesses strong powers of intuition. And she has to hide her special abilities . . . or be burned at the stake.
But what if she really is a witch . . . ?

Raising Demons for Fun and Profit by Mark McLaughlin
Okay, the title pretty much covers it. But here's what some critics have to say about Mark's work:
"The Clown Prince of Horror"
– Ellen Datlow, YEAR'S BEST FANTASY & HORROR
"Mark McLaughlin ... deftly mixes grisly horror with outlandish humor ... It is this bizarre voice that has earned McLaughlin an underground legion of hardcore, devoted fans."
– Brian Keene, Stoker Winner and author of THE RISING
"McLaughlin (is) well known for his witty charm and performative fiction readings ... he's known mostly for his short fiction, which has a tendency to combine Lovecraftian imagery with hilarious (and often perverse) comedy."
– Michael Arnzen, Reviewer

Redgunk Tales: Tales from the Kudzu by William R. Eakin
Bill Eakin has created a real fantasy world, Redgunk, into which he has inserted science fiction events and fantasy happenings to create unforgettable stories and characters. In these pages of this trade paperback book you'll find out How Boy Howdy Saved The World, you'll learn The Secret of the Mummy's Brain, and you'll thrill and chill to the Miracle of Swamp Gas Jackson. And these are just for starters. Here's what some others have to say about Bill Eakin's work.
"Sort of like Thomas Wolfe on acid, or James Joyce on moonshine, Bill Eakin takes the words, the rhythms, the heat, the mud, the cicadas and the kudzu of the south and turns them into stories that touch your heart while messing with your brain stem and possibly tampering with your DNA. A truly original and unique voice...."
~ Shawna McCarthy, Realms of Fantasy
"Bill Eakin is one of the more inventive writers making a name for himself today…. His southern-fried narrative is (in the opinion of this Bama Boy) one-hundred percent faithful and twice as irreverent."
~ Kurt Roth, Tangent
"Eloquent and witty, thoughtful and even heart-rending. . . . Every time I’ve read a Redgunk story recently, I’ve come away thinking the most recent was better than what I had seen before. I’m coming to realize that it’s not a question of better; each one has been good on its own. . . Bill Eakin is a brilliant storyteller."
~ Kim Mohan, Amazing Stories
Yeh, Redgunk is irresistible . . . so don't resist!

The Saint and the Demon by Teri Santitoro and Ron Sparks
In the not-too-distant future, a young reporter reluctantly agrees to interview an aging, senile, old man in the heart of the Florida Everglades. In the humid, swampy environment, the reporter is sure that there can be no story of substance to report here, but the old man reveals that, in the past, his love was so strong and so passionate for a woman that he stopped at nothing to get her back when the forces of war tore them apart. He became a hero and a coward. A lover and a fighter. A saint and a devil. In his quest to rescue the woman he loved, he turned into something that she could no longer love. Into the middle of this personal ordeal tumbles Cutter, a man from another world, sent to Earth to establish a breeding mission for his endangered race. He falls in love with an Earth woman, and must defend not only her, but also the future of his own people. The object of his alien affections, a young woman named Angel, finds herself suddenly thrust into a world of aliens and intrigue, and of a love that has far more dangerous consequences than she could possibly have imagined. Santitoro and Sparks draw you into a world where the lines between friend and foe blur until Cutter and Angel cannot even be certain of each other. If one race has to die so that the other may live, who gets to choose? Cutter? Or the woman he loves? Or will the choice be taken from them by others far deadlier and far more powerful?

Scifaikuest

Scifaistew by Teri Santitoro
Scifaistew is a collection of scifaiku and tanka and haibun by Teri Santitoro, editor of Scifaikuest. Here's what Tyree Campbell had to say about it: " . . . I've read it, several times. It's that kind of collection. I'm . . . astonished at how good it is. A haibun titled "The Tin Man's Ax" is worth the price of admission alone. If you buy only one collection of scifaiku a year, this is the one for 2007. Seriously."

The Sea At Mughain by Jennifer Sparlin
Teaser from the text:
“My lord king,” said one, “I am Eunan son of Eunan. We captured this girl on a raid, and as she is no further use to us, we thought that your household might benefit – for a reasonable price – ”
The girl was staring at the floor, as though she was past caring what happened to her.
The king sighed. “What’s your name, girl?” The girl looked up at him, but did not speak. Her eyes were a bright, forget-me-not blue. The king frowned at Eunan. “Is she deaf?”
“No – no, my lord,” said Eunan. “She just doesn’t talk.”
“She screams, though,” said the other man.
Thus begins a Celtic tale featuring intrigue, romance, and magic people of the sea, all intertwined in a conflict between families, between parents and children, and between friends. There can be but one way to resolve it.

The Seven Adventures of Cadida by Marva Dasef {Sam's Dot Publishing}
Cadida's in trouble again. But then, when is Cadida not in trouble?
First, she gets captured by raiders and thrown into a cave to be sacrificed to a demon, which turns out to be a djinn named Bascoda, a rather clumsy genie who adopts Cadida as his mistress. Cadida manages to escape despite Bascoda's "help," but later returns to the cave to see if anyone else had been captured. She finds instead of a prisoner a rather lonely and pathetic demon who needs a new home. Then Baakir, a fire-breathing, talking, flying horse tells Cadida that his beloved Barika has been captured by pirates. Baakir is only somewhat helpful because he is not yet fully in control of his magic. Oops.
Oh, yes, there's much more . . . but you'll just have to turn the pages and find out what kind of trouble this bored little rich young lady can get into.

In this collection of forty-eight poems (thirty-seven of them previously unpublished), Aurora Award winning poet, Marcie Lynn Tentchoff offers glimpses into different types and realms of dreams. Sometimes While Dreaming takes the reader into misty worlds of fantasy, and darker worlds of nightmare, lingering in our own waking world, but portraying it as changed and alien. The collection deals with different viewpoints, with people and creatures torn from their own realms of belief, transformed beyond their own imaginings, or simply trapped by law, spell, or inner emotion in situations outside of any human norm.

Spell Keeper by Dana M. Baird
In the land of Tevious, the people are suffering under the occupation of Trevarre, a foppish warlord-sorcerer with an undead army, and his accomplice Rangael, a corrupt High Priest with a lust for power. The Tevians’ only hope is the Spell Keeper, a hero who will come to overthrow the evil regime, reawaken the dormant currents of sorcery, and restore peace to their small country. They are surprised when they get Cassie, a fifteen-year-old from Illinois — but not as surprised as she is. With no way home, Cassie joins a rebellion led by an irreverent wise-woman, a former highwayman, and a healer with an important secret. Cassie must use her wits as well as her newfound powers to challenge Trevarre, discovering in the process that her lineage is somehow linked to the troubled land. She is potentially the most powerful sorceress that has ever lived. But her adversary can turn people inside out with a thought…

TALES OF WEUPP: Little People Must Surrender by Ralan Conley, illustrated by Jesse Bunch
For all her young life Myla Trogsen has lived a lonely, isolated existence. Afflicted with a rare genetic disorder, she must use a wheelchair or motorized scooter to get around. Home schooled by her mother, she is constantly reminded by her that in times of trouble, "Little people must surrender."
Now, two years after her parents untimely deaths in a car crash, she sometimes feels the need to visit the nearby town, even though it almost always makes her feel embarrassed, frustrated, angry, and even lonelier. But this time a near accident with a truck literally blows her off the road and into another world.
The people she meets all look like her -- small, white-haired, and older than their age, in fact they see her as beautiful. Do they suffer from the same disease as she? The planet itself seems to be a living entity and may have summoned her for some reason. But what is it? The people of a remote village are being held captive by the Zyots, a hulking warrior race. How can she rescue them?
And weirdest of all, her motorized scooter now performs like a souped-up four-wheel-drive ATV. And doesn't seem to need a recharge -- but for how long?
Unlike her home world (or is it?) of Earth, in the magical world of Weupp, she fits right in ... and there's also a prince to rescue.

Tarantula Stampede by Tom Galusha
The tarantulas of Tom Galusha cover one of the widest ranges of topics of any contemporary speculative poet. He has been influenced by Poe and by Yeats, and by his own vision, which often focuses in on its theme from way beyond left field. His tarantulas treat of an artist who is trapped by a painting, of nightmares that are realer than real, of the little-known uses of a werewolf, and of the horrors we might inflict upon an alien intelligence to make it like us. Galusha's work, lavishly illustrated by Terry Galusha and 7ARS, ranges in size from the epic to scifaiku, with each word, each letter, carefully crafted to elicit responses from us that we do not even know we possess.
In Pamplona they run with the bulls. Come run awhile with Galusha's tarantulas . . .

Touched by the Gods by Sandra J. Lindow
Whether she is going to the post office, gardening, doing laundry or sewing for her daughter, there is a 'sanctification on the altar of daily life' in her activities."
Roger Dutcher, The Magazine of Speculative Poetry
"You cannot stop the hands of time, but you can have them Xeroxed." If ever a poetry collection is to be called a "Must Read", it's this one. Read it often, keep it close.
Marge Simon, 2008 Stoker winner: Vectors: A Week in the Death of a Planet
"Lindow's pantheon, from Juno to Quetzalcoatl to Pokeman, may not be entirely beneficent, but under the aegis of such gods, this splendid poet dispenses tonics for the heart, medicine for the soul."
Mary Turzillo, Nebula Award Winner, and author of Ewaipanoma

And what can happen at a Christmas play when you focus too much on what other people get. Up Is Down is illustrated by 7ARS and Marcia Borell

Veil of Whispers by Dana M. Baird
Last year we published Baird's novel The Spell Keeper. Veil of Whispers is the second novel in The Spell Keeper Legends. In the city of Burken there are those still loyal to the former regime that terrorized the country for years. Now, with the city's two largest celebrations approaching, citizens are disappearing from the streets. There are rumors of a growing cult, intent on the destruction of the city and the Crown itself.
It all starts with a boat ablaze on a flooding river . . . and two apprentices who find a mysterious survivor.
But the cult hasn't reckoned on Cassie, the keeper of the spells. She's back: older, wiser, and hotter! And she has a sword that says so!
Remember the old saying about the manure and the wind farm? In Veil of Whispers, they're about to collide.

"DeWinter’s masterful verse awakens awe with every stroke. It was sheer pleasure to illustrate this marvelous collection. May your conscious wander freely through the treasures herein, and come away in wonderment recalling lines like these:
“I have only these hands
of pale comfort,
of wilderness and discretion,
of atom bombs and struggle,
of ecstasy and clay
to save you.”

Aidan is the best dream guide Hypnos has to offer. Life for him is the life of a superstar. But being the best has a downside; jealousy is everywhere, and many want to ruin Aidan’s reputation. So when his client inexplicably disappears mid-dream, Hypnos revokes Aidan’s lucrative dream contract, and it seems his enemies have succeeded. Aidan knows he is being victimised, but when he sets out to prove his innocence, he discovers a secret that runs far deeper than the envy of his peers

Now the last two survivors of the Widdershins family join forces for one final plunge into the world of demons. Who will live, and who will die?
