Ecotastrophe II
Ecotastrophe II edited by J Alan Erwine contains a few short stories about the future after climate change. Some are optimistic. Some not so much. A readable collection of interesting science-fiction from Nomadic Delerium Press
Elasticity
Elasticity: The Best of Elastic Press is an anthology of stories in the ‘slipstream’ genre, which means anything goes. Sometimes they don’t work but the majority are good. It’s almost worth buying just for ‘Shopping’ by Anthony Mann, a macabre short story told in shopping lists. Click link for review.
