  An astonishing mix of hot newcomers, heavy hitters and superstars in this second edition of The Best British Fantasy.
  "More good news come our way from Salt Publishing, it seems that they will not only release a series of year's best British fantasy, but also starting from next year a series of yearly "Best British Horror" too, edited by Johnny Mains." —Dark Wolf Fantasy
  2014's selection offers stories written by eight women and six men. All have been published in 2013, either in popular genre magazines such as Interzone, or in anthologies. In subject matter, the stories range from hard SF space travel, through near future Zero Hours social comment, to an alternate retelling of Theseus and the Minotaur and a world where flowers whisper poems.
  Praise for Best British Fantasy
  "All in all this is a great little collection of short stories by some of the best fantasy writers around, some you will have heard of and some that may be new to you but all of whom have earned their place in this anthology by being good writers. Whether or not it's the 'best' and whether or not every writer is actually 'British' is open to debate, but one thing's for sure, it will make a great addition to anyone's fantasy library." —Sci-Fi London

  From the acclaimed, genre-bending Italian fabulist author, a posthumous collection of career-spanning stories previously unavailable in English. “Everybody telephones everybody at every possible moment, and nobody can speak to anybody . . . Distance has been the warp that supports the weft of every love story.” —from Numbers in the Dark Written between 1943 and 1984, the stories in Numbers in the Dark span the career of one of fiction’s modern masters: from Italo Calvino’s earliest fables, to tales informed by life in World War II–era Italy, to the delightful experimentation that would define his later work. Here are speculative stories on life in the digital age, genre-bending wonders, and “impossible interviews” with the likes of Montezuma and a Neanderthal. Deftly translated by Tim Parks, Numbers in the Dark shows off Calvino’s lifelong gift for subtle humor and shimmering philosophical insight.Praise for Numbers in the Dark“Numbers in the Dark is a glorious grab-bag . . . [with] enough gems from every phase in Calvino’s career to make it feel indispensable.” —Seattle Times“These stories reward the patient reader with wisdom, humor, and insight.” —Library Journal“Calvino . . . is well-represented in this continually surprising collection . . . . Novelist Parks's superb translations capture Calvino’s quirky, iconoclastic voice, helping to make this a worthy addition to the Calvino shelf.” —Publishers Weekly

  It had been a busy day at work. And Chloe was horny as hell. There was something about the hustle of a chaotic day at the law firm that sent her libido soaring. Instead of being exhausted, she’d leave the office ready for loving. Today was no exception. Her plan was to slip into her closet then drape her body with something scandalously hot. If her timing worked out, Rob would come home to find her in the bedroom, splayed across the mattress, ready for a good... Today she was in the mood for black lace. She spent nearly an hour in the mirror, tugging her negligee into place, brushing her jet black hair over her shoulder and decorating her full lips with a striking shade of red. Chloe liked what she saw, but a nagging question echoed through her head: Will this get my husband in the mood?Rob could be something of a slow star – sexually and otherwise. Chloe was the fire in the relationship and Rob was the ice-cold water, laid-back, calm, impassive. She was the feisty attorney, always ready for a fight. He was the nerd, face always buried in a book or a newspaper. They laughed about their differences and they jokingly called themselves ‘the odd couple.’ But when those differences left Chloe cold and empty, it was no laughing matter.Inspecting herself more closely in the mirror...WARNING: This book contains sexual content and is intended for mature audiences. 18 and up only.
