€5 off first Book Purchase of €50+ | With Code: CHAPTERSBOOKSTORE
A stunning collection of award-winning fantasy and science fiction short stories from the New York Times bestselling author of the Between Earth and Sky trilogy-including a new novella set in the world of Trail of Lightning.
Rebecca Roanhorse's first publication, "Welcome to Your Authentic Indian Experience (TM)", was awarded both the Nebula and Hugo award for best short story, and on its strength, Roanhorse was awarded the Astounding Award for Best New Writer. Although Roanhorse began to publish novels including Trail of Lightning and Black Sun, she has continued to write piercing stories that examine the American experience through marginalized perspectives.
"River of Bones" returns to the Sixth World series with a novella, this time from Kai's perspective, as he and Maggie travel back to where he grew up to save his ex from the people who almost beat him to death-his ex's family.
Based on the Tewa fable of Deer Hunter and White Corn Maiden, "A Brief Lesson in Native American Astronomy"-winner of the 2019 Ignyte award-explores the tradition of celestial-based storytelling, set in a future where virtual reality is nearly indistinguishable from the real world and celebrities can project their images into space as literal stars.
"Falling Bodies" follows a young student at a space station university caught between two disparate worlds-the one he currently inhabits and the one he has desperately tried to escape-as he searches for his place in the universe.
First published in Jordan Peele's Out There Screaming, "Eye and Tooth" is a story of black horror about the hunters who hunt the monsters and the monstrous among us.
Through a range of contemporary to outright fantasy and science fiction, these stories will immediately capture your attention from one of our premiere writers of speculative fiction whose work is always at the vanguard of American fiction.
