Sturz der Marionetten
Hauptbeschreibung Ich sah das Monster nicht, bis es mich mit seiner peitschenartigen Zunge packte und zwanzig Meter hoch in den braunen Himmel schleuderte. Mir stockte der Atem, als sich der Boden von mir entfernte und ich nur eine Armeslänge von dem rundlichen weißen Kopf der Bestie entfernt war. Ihr Chitin-Panzer glänzte so sehr, dass sich mein Gesicht deutlich darin spiegelte: blass, hilflos, verblüfft und viel kleiner als dieses übermächtige Wesen. Mein Name ist Andrea Cort. Ich hasse es, in der Luft zu hängen. Ich hasse es, hilflos zu sein. Und ich hasse Wesen, die größer sind.

With Stars in Their Eyes
To understand Alexander, you must first understand his time. It was an age when the universe had been opened for us. We knew how to look at objects a thousand light years away, and map the molecules that gave them form; we knew how things were put together and how they could be taken apart; we knew how the universe began and how it was likely to end. We knew how to reason, and how to discover, and how to add new pages to our increasing store of information. It was also an age when ignorance was enshrined over knowledge. . . .

Les Fils enchevêtrés des marionnettes

Les Fils enchevêtrés des marionnettes
CONFINS GALACTIQUES. Planète Vlhan. Les natifs de ce monde reculé, manière de géants sphériques dotés de membres longs et souples pareils à des fouets, se livrent chaque année au rituel le plus étrange qui soit : le Ballet. Une danse qu’aucune race sentiente ne parvient à décrypter, un partage codifié impénétrable auquel participent des dizaines de milliers d’individus. Susceptible de durer plusieurs jours, le Ballet s’achève irrévocablement par un climax terrifiant : la mort de ceux qui y prennent part. De tous les coins de la Galaxie, ils sont nombreux à venir assister au déroulé de cette fascinante coutume, humains en tête. À ceci près que depuis peu, beaucoup chez ces derniers ne se contentent plus du rôle de spectateurs, mais brûlent de s’impliquer dans l’événement — au prix de transformations physiques radicales, et pour une finalité mortelle connue de tous. Pourquoi répondre à semblable appel ? Quel secret se cache dans la trame séculaire du Ballet ? Paul Royko est un shooteur de neuropics à succès. Et il compte bien offrir à son auditoire la clef de ce mystère qui enivre les foules. Sauf qu’il est loin, très loin, d’imaginer la nature de la porte qu’il s’apprête à ouvrir... « Un grand talent qui opère avec une efficacité maximale. » HARLAN ELLISON

The Shallow End of the Pool

release date: Jan 28, 2008
The Shallow End of the Pool
Resolution. Reason. Respect. Among U.S. couples marrying today, roughly 40% will divorce. About half of those will have children at the time of the split. Ensuing ugliness will engulf the lives of both divorcees and offspring. They can in most cases expect years of legal battles, deceit, rage, depression, baiting, vitriol, manipulation, and hurt. Perhaps there is another way, a better way. A way that allows for resolution, reason, and respect. An agreement, of sorts, but one that confronts rather than masks the myriad troubles at hand. Lays them all out on the table. Settles the issues once and for all in an honorable arena. Something direct. Fair. Final. Adam-Troy Castro, Hugo/Nebula/Stoker-nominated author of the SF novel Emissaries from the Dead, brings you a brutally horrific tale of the ultimate settlement in the battle of broken-hearted wills in a new novella from Creeping Hemlock Press. Petty power-plays have been cast aside. The facade of decency is shelved. For one blistering week in an abandoned desert motel, there will be no excuses, pleading, or games. Only resolution, reason, respect. And blood.
