An entire story-cycle in miniature. One thousand years of the remarkable magical history of a secret region of Spain where few people venture even now. Albarracín is a rose-red town tucked away in the mountains of Lower Aragon. Once the seat of an independent taifa during the dominance of the Caliphate of Cordoba, it remained saturated with ancient mystery long after the separated kingdoms of the peninsular were forged through conquest into th...

In this book, the first collection from London writer Nina Allan, the full range of her styles is evident. Often using only the tiniest hints of the unusual or otherworldly to colour her narratives, these stories are rooted squarely in both the meticulously observed modern world and the traditions of British Macabre and Slipstream writing. They are subtle and elegantly crafted, leading us to question our own identities and take a second look a...

Glaikit, mockit, droukit, drouthy, couthy, scunner, thrawn - the Scots language is rich with words too gallus not to glory in, dialect terms that deserve better than to be boxed away as precious oddities. Here we've collected some of the strangest writers of Scottish descent to bring these terms to life - that's Scottish by heritage or residence, adoption or initiation...

Their identities remain unknown. Their whereabouts, as well as that of their 225 followers who disappeared alongside them, remain unknown. Their songs - of suicide and transcendence, pain and hope, myth and religion, violence and peace, innocence and evil, death and rebirth - will live forever. They are the most infamous cult band in the history of rock and roll, and they may be much more than merely this: the legendary underground punk group ...

The lonely and the regretful and the downtrodden, the furious and the woeful and the damaged, all facing the futility of living in a world of malice, loss and loneliness, all desperately seeking salvation while forging through the miles of pain marking every step of the path to Paradise . . . A farmer sings a nightly funeral dirge, summoning something from far across the fields. A cavalry troop finds Heaven or Hell in the hills. A reporter wit...

A new collection from one of the most powerful voices in in slipstream and horror writing is a significant event. This collection of twenty two stories was one of the last that Joel Lane put together before his death in 2013. Frequently taking the form of urban fantasy, with his home city of Birmingham as their nucleus, these are intense and often painful stories that linger in the mind for a long time. This book also contains a substantial es...

What you have been taught, lover of the sublime, is a lie that made you live a lie... In the 21st century, a scalpel slices bible pages, passages spliced to restore lost truth. In the days of King Herod, the messias rises, calling to black sheep: walk with me. Now, here, between two aeons and across Æternity, a beloved student rebuilds his Gospel for the era of Anonymous: anarchist, socialist, atheist, revolutionary. Forget the tale you were s...

The Senses. We've all got them and are using them constantly. Even the Pinball Wizard had a couple. What's that sound? Did you see that? Don't let that touch me. Smells delicious. The taste of heaven... As humans, we are constantly processing our responses to the sensory input. With this in mind, editor Allen Ashley has collected together 21 new stories that explore our relationship with our primary senses. What's it really like to be invisibl...
