Writers of the Future Volume 1

Paperback, 354 pages

Escape into new worlds...

...A tough cop tries to cut it in a tougher century...A terrified young girl wonders what her guardian eats...and zoo creatures in a starving world eat what they can....

Escape into new worlds of imagination...

...A loving couple in a world of despair pray for a life to nurture... the Devil grasps for a pinball-player’s soul...a Cinderella has no soul to yield...and an ancient shaman bitterly witnesses the rape of something irriplacable....

...An elf woos a princess...a man buries his wife, and perhaps his existence...a murderous junkie confronts a faithful thing...and a theater director plays the highest stake for happiness and fame....
