The first annual LIGHTSPEED anthology is coming out next month (November 23) from Prime Books.
It collects all the stories that ran in the acclaimed online magazine during its first year into one gorgeous paperback entitled LIGHTSPEED: YEAR ONE.
My own gut-wrenching, stomach-churning sci-fi/horror tale “The Taste of Starlight” is included. It’s an honor to be among the great writers and fantastic stories in this collection.
Half the stories were written new for LIGHTSPEED, and the other half are classic tales chosen for reprinting by Editor Extraordinaire John Joseph Adams.
Here’s the complete Table of Contents:
