В дебрях глухих лесов расположена частная школа Элеанор Уэст для трудных подростков. Вот только их «трудности» далеки от привычных проблем: каждый воспитанник побывал в ином мире, который считает своим подлинным домом и мечтает туда вернуться. Главное – успеть отыскать свою «дверь» до того, как станешь слишком взрослым… или сойдешь с ума.

В 1968 году мир испытал совершенно новый вид ужаса: на киноэкраны вышел знаменитый фильм «Ночь живых мертвецов». С тех пор зомби уверенно вторглись во все аспекты популярной культуры. И вот теперь отмеенный наградами составитель антологий Джонатан Мэйберри вместе с самим «крестным отцом» жанра Джорджем Э. Ромеро и целой плеядой самых талантливых мастеров современного хоррора представляют вам коллекцию совершенно новых историй, произошедших в течение сорока восьми часов той легендарной вспышки. Приготовьтесь! Эти ночи будут очень долгими… и очень страшными!

Многие века они совершенствуют мастерство охоты, превратив выслеживание и умерщвление добычи в высшую форму искусства. Они называют себя яуджа, но Галактика знает их под другим именем – ХИЩНИКИ. Долгое время они не имели себе равных… пока не столкнулись с людьми. Ведь упрямым землянам все равно, насколько превосходит их противник. Важно лишь одно: если его можно ранить, то его можно и убить!

Созданный под редакцией Джона Джозефа Адамса и Хью Хауи — опытнейших составителей фантастических антологий, Триптих Апокалипсиса представляет собой серию из трех сборников апокалиптической фантастики.

«Хаос на пороге» фокусируется на событиях, предшествующих массовой катастрофе, когда лишь единицы предчувствовали грядущий коллапс. «Царствие хаоса» обрушивает на человечество мощные удары, практически не оставляющие выбора ни странам, ни отдельным людям. «Хаос: отступление?» изображает участь человечества после Апокалипсиса.

В этом сборнике вашему вниманию представлены 20 новых, ранее не публиковавшихся историй, вышедших из-под пера Тананарив Дью, Нэнси Кресс, Кена Лю, Дэвида Веллингтона, Джейми Форда и многих других мастеров современной фантастической прозы.

Politics have never been October "Toby" Daye's strong suit. When she traveled to the Kingdom of Silences to prevent them from going to war with her home, the Kingdom of the Mists, she wasn't expecting to return with a cure for elf-shot and a whole new set of political headaches. Now the events she unwittingly set in motion could change the balance of modern Faerie forever, and she has been ordered to appear before a historic convocation of monarchs, hosted by Queen Windermere in the Mists and overseen by the High King and Queen themselves.

Naturally, things have barely gotten underway when the first dead body shows up. As the only changeling in attendance, Toby is already the target of suspicion and hostility. Now she needs to find a killer before they can strike again - and with the doors locked to keep the guilty from escaping, no one is safe.

As danger draws ever closer to her allies and the people she loves best, Toby will have to race against time to prevent the total political destabilization of the West Coast and to get the convocation back on track...and if she fails, the cure for elf-shot may be buried forever, along with the victims she was too slow to save. Because there are worse fates than sleeping for 100 years. 

This book is an anthology of original stories inspired by science and scientists. The authors—some of the best and most decorated in the field—each visited Microsoft Research and met with top researchers in areas such as machine learning, computer vision, speech recognition, programming languages, and operating systems. They were given a unique opportunity to see new technologies under development and understand how researchers think and work.

The stories that came out of this process are the kind of science fiction that excited me as boy. They draw upon, highlight, and extrapolate current science. A number of them put scientists and engineers front and center in the narrative.

Award-winning editor John Joseph Adams has once again assembled a who’s who of short fiction, and the result is nothing short of mind-blowing.

When Alex Price agreed to go to Ohio to oversee a basilisk breeding program and assist in the recovery of his psychic cousin, he didn't expect people to start dropping dead. But bodies are cropping up at the zoo where he works, and his girlfriend—Shelby Tanner, an Australian zoologist with a fondness for big cats—is starting to get suspicious.

Worse yet, the bodies have all been turned partially to stone...

The third book in the InCryptid series takes us to a new location and a new member of the family, as Alex tries to balance life, work, and the strong desire not to become a piece of garden statuary. Old friends and new are on the scene, and danger lurks around every corner.

Of course, so do the talking mice.

Things are starting to look up for October "Toby" Daye. She's training her squire, doing her job, and has finally allowed herself to grow closer to the local King of Cats. It seems like her life may finally be settling down...at least until dead changelings start appearing in the alleys of San Francisco, killed by an overdose of goblin fruit.

Toby's efforts to take the problem to the Queen of the Mists are met with harsh reprisals, leaving her under sentence of exile from her home and everyone she loves. Now Toby must find a way to reverse the Queens decree, get the goblin fruit off the streets—and, oh, yes, save her own life, since more than a few of her problems have once again followed her home. And then there's the question of the Queen herself, who seems increasingly unlikely to have a valid claim to the throne....

To find the answers, October and her friends will have to travel from the legendary Library of Stars into the hidden depths of the Kingdom of the Mists—and they'll have to do it fast, because time is running out. In faerie, some fates are worse than death.

October Daye is about to find out what they are.
