The Wedding Chapel’s Bartender: A Rucksack Universe Story - Rucksack Universe

Anthony St. Clair

Sinossi

Can he handle the most powerful force in the world? 
Jake Edinburgh's first day on the job at Scotland's Dram Ring Pub and Wedding Chapel is not at all what he expected—and that's just from meeting Angus the ringmaker. 
The Rucksack Universe series combines alternate history, speculative fiction, myth, adventure, globetrotting, and intrigue—all with well-poured pints of beer. Library Journal says Anthony St. Clair's storytelling has "universe building reminiscent of Terry Pratchett," and readers say they love the Rucksack Universe's unique combination of "quirk, wit, travel, and magic."

States of Man - New Stories

Gareth Cadwallader

Tender, nostalgic, romantic, funny, absurd, magically real, speculative, ironic, nightmarish, entertaining and elegantly rendered…these stories span a century of Man’s consciousness. 
Once, a man might be a Gatsby chasing his girl half-way around the world, the captain of a football World Cup winning side, a raging Picasso bull in a mythical maze refusing to yield lover or art till his last mortality-defiant egotistic gasp. Straightforward enough choices, dreams, behaviour. 
Suddenly he is man interrupted, underwhelmed, overworked, ridiculed, young, rock-solid or unreliable family man, father, husband, friend; his freedom evaporates: he’s globe-trotting inbox-fatigued nonsense-hearing corporate, military civil-serving quiet ministry of Everyman. He’s so exasperated he might just run away and prop up a bar, or contemplate mild treachery just to get by, and he’s put-upon, as he zigzags across #TimesUp, political correctness, game theory, oh… and… the women in his life. 
Now here he stands staring down the barrel of the 21st Century – he’s superman, he’s transhuman, he’s disassembling, he’s nearly done for 
…or is he?

Morley Roberts

Morley Roberts (1857 - 1942) was a popular English novelist and short-story writer.'The Anticipator' is the tale of two rival writers. Esplan is a true craftsman. His stories are finely crafted, inspired works of true genius. His foe, Burford, is as bad a writer as Esplan is good. But Burford has an uncanny knack of publishing stories with the exact same plot as Esplan has been working on for weeks, making Esplan's tales unsaleable...or worse, making it seem that he is plagiarising his inept competitor.As Esplan sinks into a drug-fuelled spiral of bitterness and rage, he decides it is time to get rid of Burford. But then things take an unexpected turn....
