Alt-ernate

"A deliciously thought-provoking, evocative, and spine-tingling collection." - Cassie Hart, author of Butcherbird There are places where the boundaries are thin and a step off the path could take you further than you meant to go. Step off the path and submerge yourself in 37 stories that explore alternate realities, presents, and futures through science fiction, fantasy and horror. Dip your eyes into ethereal worlds, discomfiting climate fiction, heartache-inducing near and far-flung futures, and the creepy darkness that shadows humanity. Alt-ernate is the debut short story collection from author Melanie Harding-Shaw. Alternating between bite-sized micro-fiction and longer stories, it includes five never-before-published stories as well as the first novelette in the Censored City trilogy, Would She Be Gone.
