Where Are We Going?
Allen Ashley (The Elastic Book of Numbers, Subtle Edens, Catastrophia) returns to the anthology format with an
ambitious themed collection of stories based on the idea that the world we live in is still something of an unknown planet, with spectacular
encounters, adventures and mysteries still very much possible.
The result is a collection of tales of
urban decay and angst – jaunts to unexpected and unexplained kingdoms – holidays and excursions to strange and unnerving destinations. A
familiar earth that’s slightly skewed – or maybe never was. This is a
collection of journeys of the imagination from some of the best authors in modern Slipstream, SF, Fantasy and Horror.
