Om denne e-boken

This is one of our darkest issues, with the world’s first eco-disaster novel (Nordenholt’s Million, by J.J. Connington, from 1923) depicting a world ravaged by a bacterial plague that destroys food supplies and leads to worldwide catastrophe. We also have our first story with a trigger warning (Darren O. Godfrey’s powerful “I Used to Live Here”). Alan Orloff has a unique take on a very hungry plant (shades of Little Shop of Horrors!), and there’s plague in space from Andrew Welsh-Huggins. Of course, there are lighter tales, too, and new stories from returning favorite authors like Elizabeth Zelvin, Teel James Glenn, and Ed Teja. It’s a great issue.
