Cul de Sac Stories
by Tamara Kaye Sellman
The neighborhoods of Cul de Sac Stories are not precisely the
safe spaces you might expect. This collection of quirky exurban tales
houses the whispered fears of mothers and daughters, crones and
maidens, neighbors both familiar and aloof. Here you’ll find the codex
through a believably terrifying apocalypse, a primer for new mothers
managing newborn shadows, sacred scriptures unspooled by a handmade
doll’s magic promise, a village’s record of a fantastical war against
mother nature, witness to a town’s sudden choreography with
catastrophe, transcripts of prescient dreams from humbled charlatans,
notes from a suburban commandeering, and a romantic liaison left
hovering in the eaves.

Tales from Mnemosyne
by Dennis Danvers
As the goddess of Memory and mother of The Muses, Mnemosyne is
uniquely qualified to set the record straight—to tell the true stories
without the usual patriarchal propaganda, all the while keeping things
fun and only slightly blasphemous. Mnemosyne as a timeless goddess
knows now and then backwards and forwards and has as much to say about
the here and now as way back when. These fourteen tales include the
most famous—Daphne and Apollo, Europa and Jove, the Birth of Athena,
Cupid and Psyche—along with some too-often-forgotten ones, such as
Tiresias and his daughter Manto, and Oenone, the abandoned wife of
Paris.

Collected Ogoense and Other Stories
by Rebecca Ore
This volume of stories and novellas collects some of Ore's valuable
fiction of the 1990s, work that continues to be of vital interest with
a strong focus on persistent issues that remain urgent in our current
world. They include, for instance, “Hypocaust & Bathysphere,” in which
time-traveling academics more than meet their match in the medieval
inhabitants they assume are naïve and ignorant and easily “studied,
while the historians exploring America’s past in “Scarey Rose in Deep
History” uncover secrets in that past that challenge them personally
to the core. And in “Collected Ogoense,” the volume’s title story, an
underpaid biologist toiling over dangerous pathogens seeks refuge from
the bleakness of her existence in her passion for African killifish
until treachery takes her refuge from her and launches her into the
obsession for revenge.

Feraltales
by Couri Johnson
Not all women are sweet and docile princesses. Sometimes they are
witches, foxes, or dogs gone wild and looking to bite. The retelling of
old tales in this collection recognizes the feral lurking within them.
And so, a young woman, abetted by a griffin, seeks to free herself from
a literally heartless man, twelve dancing sisters lure men to their
doom, business-minded witches peddle everything from moonshine to
manufactured tragedies, and the desperate wife of a king demanding she
bear him a son makes a deal with a fox.

Knife Witch
by Susan diRende
"You have to root for this sharp young woman with knives stashed in
her hair as she outwits every power ranged against her, from
small-town bullies and corrupt witch councils to far greater
natural—and supernatural—entities."
—Lesley Wheeler, author of Unbecoming and
Poetry’s Possible Worlds
