Out Now: Trenchcoats, Towers, and Trolls

What do you get when you take the high tech/low life settings of cyberpunk and sprinkle them with the magic and possibilities of fairy tales? Trolls under teleportation bridges, masquerades held in virtual reality, princely avatars, giants and dwarves alongside hackers and androids. From retellings of traditional tales such as Rumpelstiltskin, in which a young woman is tasked with writing code instead of spinning gold, to original tales like the changeling-inspired story of a formless machine intelligence that hijacks human bodies, these cyberpunk fairy tales form a unique collection that is sure to satisfy connoisseurs of both genres.

Original stories from Thomas Badlan, Suzanne Church, Beth Goder, Sarah Van Goethem, Nicola Kapron, V.F. LeSann, Angus McIntyre, Wendy Nikel, Ana Sun, Michael Teasdale, Alena Van Arendonk and Laura VanArendonk Baugh.

Trenchcoats, Towers, and Trolls: Cyberpunk Fairy Tales is out now in ebook and paperback!

"The charm of these stories lies in the way their authors work hard science incongruously into scenarios from high fantasy, making them appealing for fans of both types of writing. The resulting genre mash-ups offer plenty to enjoy."
--Publisher's Weekly

"Although these stories take place in dystopias, they are hopeful. Not hope as in wishful thinking. Rather, a hope born out of the real struggles of living in a corrupt world designed to crush your soul. That’s not just hope, it’s radical hope, and it’s the most important kind of hope we have."
--Solarpunk Magazine
