Hunter's Run

<div>&ldquo;A diverse and thoughtful array of 16 stories written around the theme of endangered species&mdash;be they human or animal, mythical or alien.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly In this poignant yet uplifting anthology about extinction, science fiction stories draw you into compelling, adventurous, and even humorous tales that will make you think about the future of animals, humanity, and the world around us. You&rsquo;ll find bugs and buffalo, humans and aliens, creatures that have never existed in our universe and genetically-engineered ones that shouldn&rsquo;t. In &ldquo;Seventy-Two Letters&rdquo; by national bestselling author Ted Chiang&mdash;praised by Strange Horizons as &ldquo;one of the finest representations of the SF subgenre of steampunk&rdquo;&mdash;a discovery reveals that humanity has only a fixed number of generations to survive. A project is embarked upon that could save the species&mdash;or open it up to a most inhuman manipulation. A Joe Haldeman poem called &ldquo;Endangered Species&rdquo; encapsulates his concerns about war and its effect on the human race. And in &ldquo;Listening to Brahms&rdquo; by Suzy McKee Charnas, the last humans alive make first contact with an alien race of lizard-like creatures who appropriate Earth culture at their own peril. In Vanishing Acts, these tales and others &ldquo;make the reader stop and think about endangered species&mdash;including humanity&mdash;which is, after all, the point&rdquo; (Rambles.NET). &ldquo;[A] splendid new original anthology.&rdquo; &mdash;The Washington Post</div>

Vanishing Acts

<div>This award-winning horror anthology is the &ldquo;yardstick by which future ghost fiction will be measured&rdquo;&mdash;featuring Tanith Lee, Joyce Carol Oates, and others (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Award-winning anthologist Ellen Datlow&mdash;praised by William Gibson as &ldquo;the genre&rsquo;s sharpest assembler of strange, dark fictions&rdquo;&mdash;is determined to prove that ghost stories still possess the power to chill modern readers to the marrow. So she reached out to a list of varied and talented authors and invited them to scare the heck out of her. The resulting anthology redefines the ghost story, venturing beyond the accustomed tropes and into horror&rsquo;s true realm: the unknown. The Dark takes a nuanced and disquieting look at the tormented and unquiet dead; the darkness in us, the living; and the sometimes tenuous boundary between the two. Under the covers of The Dark, you will find a gathering of sixteen unique ghost stories, deftly penned by authors versed in the argot of the damned, including Ramsey Campbell, Jeffrey Ford, Glen Hirshberg, Kelly Link, Sharyn McCrumb, Lucius Shepard, and Gahan Wilson. This is the stuff nightmares are made of. Winner of the International Horror Guild Award for Best Anthology of the Year</div>
