Summary

The Society of Misfit Stories is a home for those wonderful stories that are too long for most magazines but too short for print as stand-alone books. Whether you call them short stories, novelettes, or novellas, these stories are all of a length that often struggles to find publication traditionally. 
 
Volume Three represents all of the stories that were published in 2018. The Society of Misfit Stories originally began as ebook-only bi-weekly releases that were compiled into an annual publication for print. In 2019, the program transitioned to a literary journal published three times a year. This book represents the final volume of the original project. 
 
The stories in this collect range from the silly to the terrifying, from the whimsical to the philosophical, from traditional high fantasy to experimental magical realism. The one common denominator is that they are all written in the novelette/novella format. 
 
At five-hundred print pages, The Society of Misfit Stories features an amazing collection of new and established authors creating in the speculative genres. Bards and Sages Publishing is proud to have provided a home for such wonderful works.
Available since: 10/22/2019.

    In this near-future sci-fi novel by the author of 2001: A Space Odyssey, two companies competing to raise the Titanic find mystery among the wreckage.   Two years before the centennial anniversary of the Titanic’s demise, two powerful corporations compete to recover the legendary vessel from the floor of the North Atlantic. With the wreckage split in two, each company—one British and one Japanese—plans to use its spectacular technology to raise one half of the famous ship. But what they find deep beneath the ocean’s surface is more than they bargained for.   Discovered among the Titanic’s remains are six perfectly preserved bodies, including one of a beautiful woman who was not listed among the ship’s original passengers. Who was she—and what was her secret? The mission to find out becomes all-consuming and, for some, deadly.   This fast-paced tale combines a centuries-old mystery with modern suspense and Clarke’s visionary imagination—here concerned with future technologies, ecological crises, and the mysteries of fractal mathematics.

    Mary Elizabeth Braddon – A Short Story Collection – An Introduction 
 
Mary Elizabeth Braddon was born in London on the 4th October 1835. 
 
At age 5 her parents separated but her ambition to succeed was not daunted.  After being privately educated she took to acting, and the minor roles she obtained where enough to support both her and her mother.  This potential career waned as soon as she began writing and secured an income from it. 
 
In 1860, she met John Maxwell, a publisher of periodicals, and moved in with him the following year.  At the time Maxwell was already married with five children but his wife was confined to an Irish mental asylum.  On her death they married and she had six children by him. 
 
Braddon was prolific and wrote over 80 novels, perhaps the most famous is ‘Lady Audley's Secret’ (1862), which won her both sales and a fortune as a bestseller.  She also wrote a number of historical fiction novels which again increased her reputation. 
 
She was equally prolific as a short story writer, primarily supernatural and ghost stories, all of which continue to be anthologized to this day, such is the high regard they are kept in. 
 
Braddon founded Belgravia magazine in 1866, its fare being serialised sensation novels, poems, travel narratives and biographies, along with essays on fashion, history and science, all lavishly illustrated.  She also edited Temple Bar magazine. 
 
Mary Elizabeth Braddon died on 4th February 1915 and is buried in Richmond Cemetery.
