Eclipse 3 e-bog

To observe an eclipse is to witness a rare and unusual event. Under darkened skies the sun becomes a negative image of itself, its corona transforming the landscape into a strange space where anything might happen, and any story may be true...In the spirit of classic science fiction anthologies such as Universe, Orbit, and Starlight, master anthologist Jonathan Strahan (The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year) presents the non-themed genre anthology Eclipse: New Science Fiction and Fantasy. Here you will find stories where strange and wonderful things happen--where reality is eclipsed by something magical and new.Continuing in the footsteps of the multiple-award-nominated anthologies Eclipse One and Eclipse Two, Eclipse Three delivers new fiction by some of the genres most celebrated authors, including Karen Joy Fowlers story of a familys desperation and a rebellious young womans strange incarceration; Ellen Klagess fable of a practical girl, an unusual tortoise, and an ancient mathematical puzzle; Pat Cadigans story of a mysterious photograph and two friends journey through space and time in order to solve its riddle; Jeffrey Fords tale of a legendary sword imbued with the power to turn flesh to coral, and of the artist that wields it; Daniel Abrahams story of divine providence, sacred oaths, and the omens that indicate whether a man is fit to be king; and Caitlin R. Kiernans chronicle of an astronaut whose memories of a lover lost to an alien intelligence haunt her.
