Barbara Davies is back with a new collection of speculative fiction.
Barbara Davies brings us fourteen new fantasy and science fiction tales in her latest collection of previously published and unpublished short stories.
Ranging from Elizabethan England to a far-flung future where space stations, stargates, and aliens are the norm, Davies entertains with tales of supernatural creatures such as sirens and werewolves, unicorns, fairies, and black dogs. Follow along on the adventures of hapless witches, princesses, actresses, smugglers, plant hunters, and cesspit cleaners as they face extraordinary situations.
As always, Davies stories are imaginative, thought-provoking, and guaranteed to be delightful and entertaining.

Barbara Davies was born in Birmingham, England, twenty minutes after her twin sister. She grew up in the Midlands, managed to scrape a BA from York University, worked in computing in Surrey, then moved to Gloucestershire where she’s now a writer and a book reviewer for Starburst. Barbara published her first short story in 1994. Since then, more than forty of her stories have appeared in various genre magazines, including Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Fantasy Magazine, Khimairal Ink, Neo-Opsis, and nanobison, and in the anthologies Ideomancer Unbound, Crossings, and F/SF Volume 1. The readers of Kimota gave one of her stories their 1999 Best Story Award.
