Sinossi

In "Whispers of Starfall," young weaver Lyra stumbles upon an ancient tapestry that prophesies a cosmic collision between the mortal world and the realm of celestial beings. As meteors shower the land with otherworldly whispers, Lyra embarks on a perilous quest to decode the tapestry's secrets and prevent catastrophe.   
Set in a richly imagined world blending Scandinavian and West African mythologies, this YA dystopian fantasy weaves a tale of destiny, cultural exchange, and the transformative power of art. The narrative alternates between Lyra's journey and the stories embedded in the magical tapestry, creating a unique storytelling structure that mirrors the art of weaving itself.   
As Lyra gathers a diverse group of allies, including a star-charting astronomer and a griot with the ability to bring stories to life, she must confront celestial beings whose whispers are reshaping reality. With its lyrical prose and intricate world-building, this folklore-inspired fantasy offers a fresh take on the hero's journey, emphasizing creativity and cultural understanding in the face of world-altering challenges.

    Small World - Surviving the...

    Small World by William F. Nolan - What will happen when the alien ships strike Earth? And later? Who will survive? What will life be like in that latter-day jungle? William F. Nolan, well known in SF circles on the West Coast, returns with this grim story of the days and the nights of Lewis Stillman—survivor ... 
    In the waiting windless dark, Lewis Stillman pressed into the building-front shadows along Wilshire Boulevard. Breathing softly, the automatic poised and ready in his hand, he advanced with animal stealth toward Western, gliding over the night-cool concrete, past ravaged clothing shops, drug and ten-cent stores, their windows shattered, their doors ajar and swinging. The city of Los Angeles, painted in cold moonlight, was an immense graveyard; the tall white tombstone buildings thrust up from the silent pavement, shadow-carved and lonely. Overturned metal corpses of trucks, busses and automobiles littered the streets. 
    He paused under the wide marquee of the FOX WILTERN. Above his head, rows of splintered display bulbs gaped—sharp glass teeth in wooden jaws. Lewis Stillman felt as though they might drop at any moment to pierce his body. 
    Four more blocks to cover. His destination: a small corner delicatessen four blocks south of Wilshire, on Western. Tonight he intended bypassing the larger stores like Safeway or Thriftimart, with their available supplies of exotic foods; a smaller grocery was far more likely to have what he needed. He was finding it more and more difficult to locate basic food stuffs. In the big supermarkets only the more exotic and highly spiced canned and bottled goods remained—and he was sick of caviar and oysters!

    There's no time like the present, but there's no place like Yester Year... 
    When Paula Frederick gets a weekend job on Dream Rock, a former prison island that now serves as the world's largest leisure destination, she can hardly believe her luck. 
    Dream Rock's outlandish surroundings are a welcome break from her studies. Paula's fully costumed role within the island's smallest zone, a medieval-themed amusement park called Yester Year, seems set to allow for even more immersive fun than she imagined. 
    Not even hazing from some mean-spirited colleagues can dampen Paula's spirits — at least until a trip through the wrong door reveals that the old stories about some kind of mysterious vortex beneath the island might have been more than fanciful rumours, after all. 
    Full immersion in the world of centuries gone by was all fun and games... when there was a way back. 
    __________ 
    Yester Year is one in a series of Sci-Fi Sizzlers: standalone short stories from international bestselling author Craig A. Falconer. These stories can be read in any order — dive in today!

    "The alien known as The Human stands before this Tribunal having been found guilty of the crime of murder without circumstances. You shall be interned in the Malx Prison for a term no less than your natural, unnatural, or transformative life without the possibility of reconsideration or commutation. You have committed the most grievous crime on Noranen and shall now suffer the maximum consequences for such a heinous act." 
     
     
     
    Adam Cain had had worse days, but at the moment, he couldn't remember when. And when the native judge slammed an oblong stone on the podium before him, signaling an end to the fifteen-minute trial and sentencing, Adam felt a tingle run down his spine. It was going to take all his skill, experience—and luck—to get out of this one. And his latest challenge was just beginning . . . 
     
     
     
    But Adam wasn't about to let the situation get the best of him. He had skills, skills which will be tested when he finds he's been placed in more of a zoo than a prison. All the inmates were aliens on the planet Noranen and serving life sentences. So why worry about their welfare? Let them sort it out amongst themselves. All the guards did was clean up the mess afterward. Unfortunately for the inmates, there was now a super being amongst them, a scrawny, pink-skinned creature known only as The Human. Let the alien ass-kicking commence!
