Pandora's Progeny

$0.00 $14.99

Aurora Award and Rhysling Award nominee Rhea Rose brings together her speculative fiction and poetry for the first time in a collection where each illuminates the other. Where wonder and unease walk hand in hand. Here, vampires are only beginning to awaken, children rehearse for tomorrow's wars beneath the glow of Christmas lights, ghosts become works of art, were-sasquatches remember older truths, alien hunters pursue impossible quarry, roadside lemonade hides uncanny bargains, destiny waits in the palm of a child's hand, and the vid-void threatens to erase an entire generation. Together, these stories and poems explore the fragile places where science fiction, fantasy, and horror meet, and where the extraordinary has always been waiting just beyond the edge of the familiar.

“Rhea Rose’s stories are a dark sampler of fantasy, science fiction, horror, and magic realism. Be aware that these stories often feature children, but I would not let my children read them. But if you like a little weird scariness, the stories are really a good read. Rose’s universe can be a strange place…” 4 stars @ Amazon.
