Exile Book of Anthology

Fairy tales tell us the stories we need to hear, the truths we need to be aware of. Arising from oral narrative, born of imagination, they are constantly being adapted to fit new cultural contexts. They shapeshift just like their characters. Their plots, motifs, and elements often serving as warnings. Over the Rainbow: Folk and Fairy Tales from the Margins is a collection of adult stories that invite us to imagine new possibilities for our contemporary times. And much is happening in these times! Cultural diversification and increased societal awareness of personal differences is allowing voices that tend to be silenced by mainstream society to come to the forefront. Collected by seven-time Prix Aurora Award-winning editor Derek Newman-Stille, these are edgy stories, tales that invite us to walk out of our comfort zone and see what resides at the margins. Over the Rainbow is a gathering of modern literature that brings together views and perspectives of the underrepresented, from the fringe, those whose narratives are at the core of today's conversations-voices that we all need to hear.

Venture down the rabbit hole again with this collection of dark and imaginative speculative fiction inspired by Alice in Wonderland. What happens when Alice grows up, or when Wonderland invades our world? This anthology features fresh takes on Lewis Carroll's classic, exploring themes of madness, identity, and transformation through the lens of talented Canadian authors. From drug-induced nightmares to futuristic landscapes, these stories will transport you beyond the familiar and into the unsettling depths of Wonderland's legacy. Edited by Colleen Anderson with a preface by David Day, Alice Unbound is a must-read for fans of speculative fiction, dark fantasy, and anyone seeking a thrilling and thought-provoking journey. Discover new visions and capers that will leave you questioning reality long after you turn the final page. Are you ready to follow the white rabbit...again?
