POLESTARS 1 A series of single author collections by outstanding writers. The Polestar, or North Star, is defined as the brightest star in Ursa Minor; since every author chosen for this series is a star in their own right, Polestars provides the ideal banner under which to unite such exceptional works. To launch this new series, NewCon is delighted to present the first full collection from award-winning author Jaine Fenn, writer of innovative science fiction and off-kilter fantasy. Strange Attractors features her finest short stories, selected by the author, drawn from more than two decades of publication, including the BSFA Award-winning "Liberty Bird", a Hidden Empire story, and a new tale, "Sin of Omission", written specifically for this collection. Jaine Fenn refuses to be pigeon-holed. Every story is fresh and unanticipated, from a society policed by sanctioned Angel Assassins to a world in which the Aztec kingdom lives on, from Fortean tales to colliding timelines in a search for the ultimate narcotic, from an exclusive girls school apparently plagued by ghosts to the hangar of a custom-built speedster about to enter the ultimate race in space ... Prepare to be dazzled. Contents: Path to the Sun Crown of May The Chatterslee Circle Paying for Rain What You Came For Death on Elsewhere Street Fear Not Heaven's Fire High Ground King of Pain Twilight at the Change House Down at the Lake The Sky Weeps Liberty Bird A Dormitory Haunting Sin of Omission Jaine Fenn at her finest. “This is a delightful collection of fifteen short stories… All are skilfully written and quite beautifully balanced.” – BSFA reviews “An engaging collection of short fiction that is always well-crafted and often possessed of a spiky little hook that gets under your skin.” – ParSec “I am happy to recommend the volume, as it delights and doesn’t overstay its welcome. Indeed, you may be disappointed when you get to the end.” – SFCrowsnest “A great collection of short story science fiction with an extensive range of themes, Fenn delivers in every story.” – goodreads reviewer "This collection is a great read for fans of speculative fiction and anyone who enjoys well-crafted stories with some unexpected twists." – LibraryThing reviewer Available as a paperback, an ebook, and a special edition hardback signed by the author and limited to just 50 numbered copies. |
