A Hymn to Gods Long Dead
The Slab. A vast orbiting slum where sweat falls in rain and the gene-spliced come in all shapes and sizes. Inspector Alex McLeod, recently suspended for excessive force and nurturing a growing addiction to bourbon, has been reduced to tending bar when an improbably beautiful vampire comes to him with a bizarre theory: there's a killer on the Slab, a killer with a liking for recreating ancient myth, in bloody and spectacular fashion. But who exactly is this vampire, and how does she know so much? And what kind of killer can walk through security systems without a trace, leaving deadly traps for those hunting him? A Hymn to Gods Long Dead is a novella forming third story in the Slab City Blues series. Each story can be read in isolation.

Accessing the Future
The fifteen authors and nine artists in this volume bring us beautiful, speculative stories of disability and mental illness in the future. Teeming with space pirates, battle robots, interstellar travel and genetically engineered creatures, every story and image is a quality, crafted work of science fiction in its own right, as thrilling and fascinating as it is worthy and important. These are stories about people with disabilities in all of their complexity and diversity, that scream with passion and intensity. These are stories that refuse to go gently.

Anarchy Missing
Everyone wants justice. That’s what Assistant DA, Lulu Lightly, tells me. “Cathedral City needs you to set things right,” she says. “To rid this place of corruption, once and for all.” I’d like to rid Lulu Lightly of her clothes. And maybe her moral superiority. But mostly her clothes. “I want you to fight the good fight with me,” she says. Hell, yeah. I’m always up for a fight. “We should stand up and be the voice of the people,” she says. Sure, I hear voices. Sometimes I even listen to them. “Figure out what’s good for the City and put it first,” she says. Oh, honey… what’s good for the City is bad for the people. Trust me, I know. I’m Case Reider—insane Alpha, nefarious inventor, and I understand this town better than anyone. Cathedral City needs me all right. Just not the way you think. I’m not the justice you’re looking for, Lulu Lightly. I’m still the same villain you left behind. Only now… there’s something very, very wrong with me.
