The Darker Mask
Author: Gary Phillips
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1429984007
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 374
Book Description
Wildly fantastic superhero stories by a cross section of today's cutting-edge urban fantasy and crime writers. Expanding on the concept behind Byron Preiss's Weird Heroes from the 1970s, George R. R. Martin's Wild Card series, and Michael Chabon's McSweeney's Mammoth Treasury of Thrilling Tales, The Darker Mask is a collection of original prose stories recalling the derring-do of the beings we call Superheroes and the worlds they fight to save. But unique to The Darker Mask stories is that these plots and characters color a literary universe outside of what has been predominantly white, idiosyncratic, and male in previous homages to pulp. This is the stuff of urban legends, new mythos, and extraordinary folks who might live in a soon-to-be-gentrified ghetto, the dreary rust-belt of the city, or in another dimension. The Darker Mask offers an eclectic mix of popular fiction writers exploring worlds gritty, visceral, and fantastic. Includes contributions from L. A. Banks, Steven Barnes and Tananarive Due, Lorenzo Carcaterra, Christopher Chambers, Reed Farrel Coleman, Michael A. Gonzales, Gar Anthony Haywood, Naomi Hirahara, Mat Johnson, Victor LaValle, Walter Mosley, Ann Nocenti, Gary Phillips, Jerry A. Rodrigues, Alexandra Sokoloff, Peter Spiegelman, Wayne L. Wilson, and Doselle Young. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

The Bear Who Found Christmas
Author: Alan Rodgers
Publisher: Chameleon Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1463802412
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 79
Book Description
From NY Times Bestseller, Bram Stoker Award Winner and World Fantasy Award nominee Alan Rodgers comes one of the most charming contemporary Christmas stories imaginable. If you loved The Velveteen Rabbit and enjoy A Christmas Carol, but live in our modern era, you will love The Bear Who Found Christmas. Joey Robins is nine years old and his dad Sam is transferred from Virginia to California. The family has to move cross-country, and Joey won't let the movers take his toy bear. He has to ride in the car with Joey, his dad, and mom Belinda. Joey is probably too old to love a Teddy Bear, but he does. Bear is his best friend and when you meet his parents, you'll see why. Joey loved the bear so hard and long and pure, so deeply and so truly and so powerfully, that Bear began to grow a heart. Nobody ever would have known about Bear at all, in fact, if Joey hadn’t lost him at the motel not far from the haunted shopping mall on Christmas Eve . . . And so begins a great quest, as Bear tries to find Christmas and Joey. A timeless classic for all seasons. From the Introduction by Mike Resnick: Some time back, I mentioned to Alan Rodgers that I was putting together an anthology called Christmas Ghosts, and asked him if he'd care to do a story for it. He replied that he had a story that, with very few changes, could fit the format, and asked if I'd care to see it. I said yes, a few days passed, and The Bear Who Found Christmas arrived. I don't think even Alan knew what he had accomplished, but I did, and I made out a contract that afternoon, because no one was going to buy that story out from under me. Alan Rodgers, who for most of his professional life eschewed short fiction and specialized in outstanding horror novels, had taken the fairy tale of the Brothers Grimm and the Rev. Dodson, polished its edges here and there, added a pinch of this and a tablespoon of that, and had produced the almost-perfect successor to these 19th Century fables just as the 20th Century was drawing to a close. Like its predecessors, it will appeal to children and like the very best of its predecessors, it will appeal even more to adults. The response to the anthology has been quite favorable, and the one story every critic singled out for praise was The Bear Who Found Christmas. So, from the Editor Who Found Christmas, to the Reader Who Is About To Find It: enjoy! – Mike Resnick, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author and editor Bear reminds me of the Velveteen Rabbit, only more charming, if you'll believe that. It has its frights, but nothing too bad can happen in a story with a teddy bear as a major character...or can it? I recommend this one for all ages. – Maren Henry, author and reader
