A
dazzling blend of science fiction, fantasy, dark fantasy and horror: a set of
stories that traverses genre boundaries, linked only by their common
inspiration. Contributors were given just those two words: ‘Dark Currents’ and then
asked to let their imaginations run wild… From haunted seascapes to distant
starscapes, from reality-hopping soldiers to naval battles in the aether, from
the deeply poignant to the breathlessly exciting… immerse yourself in deep Dark
Currents.

Linde About the Authors “It may thrill you, stretch your mind, frustrate you and annoy you in about equal measure but it will not bore you.” – SFcrowsnest “This is the kind of collection that might need to be read more than once to get the most out of it. Yet it does contain inventive and outstanding speculative fiction shorts that are well worth dwelling on.” – Warpcore SF Available as a paperback, a special signed limited edition hardback, limited to just 100 copies [SOLD OUT] and as an eBook |
