  AJ Grey is a tattoo artist. And a witch. She tracks down ghosts, hunts rogue necromancers, and hangs out with demons. It's her job to help the world keep its head in the sand about the supernatural creatures that exist all around them. 
  As she is working to help one particular ghost, after saving her from one particular rogue necromancer, she learns something chilling. The population of witches in the Twin Cities has increased by such a margin that the other supernaturals will be forced to re-establish the balance -- by way of slaughter. And she might be called upon to help them do it. 
  She will help the other witches, despite how much they despise her, if only to prove to them that she has good qualities and is worthy of being part of a coven. And while she's at it, she'll help a ghost, the ghost's former lover, and even her demon friend, Maxine DeFleur. And hopefully, she'll do it all without getting killed herself. But she has three days. Plenty of time, right?

  This story takes place in the not so distant future. Earth has been conquered and is a subjugated planet, the much too humanoid new rulers now extract heavy taxes, control industry and reproduction and interfere in every aspect of life. Rumors of their brutality and vicious massacres increase every day. Obviously, they must be thrown out and rebellion seethes among the patriots. But on the other hand, others are not so eager to get rid of the overlords: the terrible nationalistic wars have been stopped, famine is long gone and health care is almost universally available. Still, the elite intellectual portion of the earth's population plot to remove the heavy heel of the oppressors from their necks and let earth be free again. But time and again the attempts for freedom have been crushed the Valgolians mainly because national, ethnic, religious and racial prejudices and hatred among the earthlings keep the conspirators from working together. Obviously, no conqueror wants his subjects to revolt against his rule. Obviously? This one would go to any lengths to start a rebellion!

  “Keep Your Shape” by Robert Sheckley is a thought-provoking science fiction short story from the early 1950s that blends satire, social commentary, and classic sci-fi themes. The tale follows Pid, a shape-shifting alien from the Grom species, on a mission to Earth using advanced Displacer technology. As the Grom crew confronts both the alien terrain and their own internal conflicts, the story dives into questions of conformity, identity, and rebellion against rigid societal roles. Pid’s journey becomes a metaphor for self-discovery as he wrestles with the oppressive structure of Grom society and the tantalizing freedom of embracing fluid identity. Sheckley’s sharp prose and imaginative vision make this a standout exploration of what it means to “keep your shape” in a world that demands transformation.

  In an alternate timeline where the Roman Empire undergoes an industrial revolution in 100 AD, steam power and mass production transform the empire into an unprecedented superpower. The story follows Marcus Aelius, a visionary engineer who invents the first steam engine, and Livia, a shrewd senator's daughter who sees the potential for these innovations to reshape society. As Rome's borders expand rapidly, fueled by steam-powered legions and factories, the empire faces internal strife. Traditionalists, led by the influential General Cassius, fear the loss of Roman values and the destabilization of power. Meanwhile, Livia and Marcus must navigate political intrigue and sabotage to protect their vision of a new Rome. The main intrigue revolves around a conspiracy to destroy the steam engine blueprints, threatening to plunge the empire back into stagnation. As tensions rise, Marcus and Livia must decide whether to align with the reformists or the traditionalists, ultimately shaping the future of Rome and its cultural legacy.
