Оставаясь наедине со своим всё менее вменяемом родителем, он мечтает о безопасности, о друзьях в городе внизу, о побеге. Когда незнакомец стучится в дверь, мальчик чувствует, что дни изоляции подходят к концу. Но кто дал этому человеку полномочия вести записи? Какова истинная цель его вопросов? Он друг? Враг? Или нечто совсем иное? Наполненный красотой, страхом и неизвестностью, «Переписчик» — пронзительное и захватывающее исследование памяти и личности.
Kij Johnson4.3 Professor Vellitt Boe teaches at the prestigious Ulthar Women’s College. When one of her most gifted students elopes with a dreamer from the waking world, Vellitt must retrieve her.
"Kij Johnson's haunting novella The Dream-Quest of Vellitt Boe is both a commentary on a classic H.P. Lovecraft tale and a profound reflection on a woman's life. Vellitt's quest to find a former student who may be the only person who can save her community takes her through a world governed by a seemingly arbitrary dream logic in which she occasionally glimpses an underlying but mysterious order, a world ruled by capricious gods and populated by the creatures of dreams and nightmares. Those familiar with Lovecraft's work will travel through a fantasy landscape infused with Lovecraftian images viewed from another perspective, but even readers unfamiliar with his work will be enthralled by Vellitt's quest. A remarkable accomplishment that repays rereading." —Pamela Sargent, winner of the Nebula Award
Victor LaValle3.3 People move to New York looking for magic and nothing will convince them it isn't there. Charles Thomas Tester hustles to put food on the table, keep the roof over his father's head, from Harlem to Flushing Meadows to Red Hook. He knows what magic a suit can cast, the invisibility a guitar case can provide, and the curse written on his skin that attracts the eye of wealthy white folks and their cops. But when he delivers an occult tome to a reclusive sorceress in the heart of Queens, Tom opens a door to a deeper realm of magic, and earns the attention of things best left sleeping. A storm that might swallow the world is building in Brooklyn. Will Black Tom live to see it break?
John Scalzi4.4 Zachary Quinto - best known for his role as the Nimoy-approved Spock in the recent Star Trek reboot and the menacing, power-stealing serial killer, Sylar, in Heroes - brings his well-earned sci-fi credentials and simmering intensity to this audio-exclusive novella from master storyteller John Scalzi.
One day, not long from now, it becomes almost impossible to murder anyone - 999 times out of a thousand, anyone who is intentionally killed comes back. How? We don't know. But it changes everything: war, crime, daily life.
Tony Valdez is a Dispatcher - a licensed, bonded professional whose job is to humanely dispatch those whose circumstances put them in death's crosshairs, so they can have a second chance to avoid the reaper. But when a fellow Dispatcher and former friend is apparently kidnapped, Tony learns that there are some things that are worse than death and that some people are ready to do almost anything to avenge a supposed wrong.
It's a race against time for Valdez to find his friend before it's too late...before not even a Dispatcher can save him.

When Merlin encounters the derelict hulk of an old swallowship drifting in the middle of nowhere, he can't resist investigating. He soon finds himself involved in a situation that proves far more complex than he ever anticipated.
Paul Cornell3.0 It’s December in the English village of Lychford – the first Christmas since an evil conglomerate tried to force open the borders between our world and… another.
Which means it’s Lizzie’s first Christmas as Reverend of St. Martin’s. Which means more stress, more expectation, more scrutiny by the congregation. Which means… well, business as usual, really.
Until the apparition of a small boy finds its way to Lizzie in the church. Is he a ghost? A vision? Something else? Whatever the truth, our trio of witches (they don’t approve of “coven”) are about to face their toughest battle, yet!
Cassandra Khaw4.3 John Persons is a private investigator with a distasteful job from an unlikely client. He’s been hired by a ten-year-old to kill the kid’s stepdad, McKinsey. The man in question is abusive, abrasive, and abominable.
He’s also a monster, which makes Persons the perfect thing to hunt him. Over the course of his ancient, arcane existence, he’s hunted gods and demons, and broken them in his teeth.
As Persons investigates the horrible McKinsey, he realizes that he carries something far darker than the expected social evils. He’s infected with an alien presence, and he’s spreading that monstrosity far and wide. Luckily Persons is no stranger to the occult, being an ancient and magical intelligence himself. The question is whether the private dick can take down the abusive stepdad without releasing the holds on his own horrifying potential.
Брюс Стерлинг0.0 Who are these bold rebels pillaging their European neighbors in the name of revolution? The Futurists! Utopian pirate warriors of the diminutive Regency of Carnaro, scourge of the Adriatic Sea. Mortal enemies of communists, capitalists, and even fascists (to whom they are not entirely unsympathetic).
The ambitious Soldier-Citizens of Carnaro are lead by a brilliant and passionate coterie of the perhaps insane. Lorenzo Secondari, World War I veteran, engineering genius, and leader of Croatian raiders. Frau Piffer, Syndicalist manufacturer of torpedos at a factory run by and for women. The Ace of Hearts, a dashing Milanese aristocrat, spymaster, and tactical savant. And the Prophet, a seductive warrior-poet who leads via free love and military ruthlessness.
Fresh off of a worldwide demonstration of their might, can the Futurists engage the aid of sinister American traitors and establish world domination?
Альетт де Бодар0.0 Once upon a time. It’s how so many of our most beloved stories start. Fairy tales have dominated our cultural imagination for centuries. From the Brothers Grimm to the Countess d’Aulnoy, from Charles Perrault to Hans Christian Anderson, storytellers have crafted all sorts of tales that have always found a place in our hearts. Now a new generation of storytellers have taken up the mantle that the masters created and shaped their stories into something startling and electrifying.
Fran Wilde4.0 The kingdom in the Valley has long sheltered under the protection of its Jewels and Lapidaries, the people bound to singing gemstones with the power to reshape hills, move rivers, and warp minds. That power has kept the peace and tranquility, and the kingdom has flourished. Jewel Lin and her Lapidary Sima may be the last to enjoy that peace. The Jeweled Court has been betrayed. As screaming raiders sweep down from the mountains, and Lapidary servants shatter under the pressure, the last princess of the Valley will have to summon up a strength she’s never known. If she can assume her royal dignity, and if Sima can master the most dangerous gemstone in the land, they may be able to survive.
Юн Ха Ли0.0 Mixes Korean myths about shapeshifting foxes with mech-powered warfare. The main character is a gumiho, a fox spirit, who needs to kill one more human to gain the human form forever. Her latest victim, a mech pilot on the run, proofs to be more dificult then expected.
Теодора Госс0.0 Red as Blood and White as Bone by Theodora Goss is a dark fantasy about a kitchen girl obsessed with fairy tales, who upon discovering a ragged woman outside the castle during a storm, takes her in--certain she’s a princess in disguise.
Она думает о башмаках уже давно, точнее, три с половиной пары, но по железу трудно судить о времени. Проще измерять в парах: осталось ещё три, а отправилась она в путь с семью. Башмаки, надёжно привязанные к котомке, болтаются поверх неё, оттягивая своим весом. Осень, зима, весна и лето сменяют друг друга, пролетая мимо, как и пейзажи, и Табита не уверена, истирается подошва за год или больше, но вроде бы за год. Вот надену новую пару и стану считать шаги, постоянно думает она, но сбиться так легко.
Она думает о башмаках, потому что иначе не смогла бы шагать дальше: железные ремешки впиваются в кожу, натирают, оставляют синяки и мозоли, боль вдыхает в башмаки жизнь, и они несут ее через реки, горы и пропасти. Надо идти вперёд, или башмаки никогда не сносятся, а их обязательно нужно износить."
Брук Боландер3.2 Сложно сказать, кто рассказчица (ангел? гарпия?), но у неё есть сёстры с такими же острыми зубами, крыльями и способностью принимать облик человеческих женщин. В этом обличье рассказчицу убивает «милый молодой человек из хорошей семьи». Её дух сбегает, пока коронеры озадаченно чешут репы над таинственными обрубками крыльев, и вылупляется снова из яйца, высиженного сёстрами. Все они возвращаются, чтобы отомстить и подъезжают к дому парня на «Меркьри Кугуаре» 1967 года.
Н. К. Джемисин2.9 Для этого может хватить двадцати лет, а может понадобиться и две тысячи. Для созревания города, когда самые простые процессы, вроде дорожного движения или стройки, начинают идти в особом ритме. Когда мегаполис становится живым организмом. И тогда новорожденного могут сожрать хищники, ждущие момента. Как это случилось с Атлантидой, или с Помпеей.
Alyssa Wong0.0 Hannah and Melanie: sisters, apart and together. Weather workers. Time benders. When two people so determined have opposing desires, it's hard to say who will win - or even what victory might look like. This stunning, haunting short story from rising star Alyssa Wong explores the depth and fierceness of love and the trauma of family.
