  • "The Edge of Where My Light Is Cast" by Sky McKinnon, art by Carina Zhang When her owner goes missing, a digital housecat must become more than a simulation to find her dearest companion through the virtual world.
  • "Son, Spirit, Snake" by Jack Nash, art by Pedro N. No one came to his brother’s funeral. Not even the spirits. Étienne knew it was his fault.

  • "The Last Drop" by L. Ron Hubbard and L. Sprague de Camp, art by Chris Arias Mac wanted to invent a cocktail to burn itself upon the pages of history—but this one had some unexpected side effects.
  • "The Imagalisk" by Galen Westlake, art by Arthur Haywood Dementia has landed Dan Kennedy in Graydon Manor, and what’s left of his life ahead seems dismal, but a pair of impossible visitors bring unexpected hope.
  • "Life and Death and Love in the Bayou" by Stephannie Tallent, art by Ashley Cassaday When a teenage swamp witch fears her mama will be killed, she utilizes her wits and the magic of the bayou—no matter the cost to her own soul.
  • "Five Days Until Sunset" by Lance Robinson, art by Steve Bentley Our exodus family awoke on the new world—a paradise inexplicably teeming with Earth life, the Promise fulfilled. But 154 of us are missing.…
  • "Shaman Dreams" by S.M. Stirling, art by Dan dos Santos Spirits were supposed to lurk beneath the Lake of Death, hungry and patient and hostile to all life.
  • "The Wall Isn’t a Circle" by Rosalyn Robilliard, art by Guelly Rivera A new app lets users see through the eyes of any human in history, but it’s not long before the secrets of the past catch up with the present.
  • "Da-ko-ta" by Amir Agoora, art by Connor Chamberlain In the shadows of Teddy Roosevelt’s wendigo hunt, a Native American boy resolves to turn the tables on his captors, setting his sights on the ultimate prey—America’s Great Chief.
  • "Squiddy" by John Eric Schleicher, art by Tyler Vail When squids from outer space take over, a punk-rock P.I. must crawl out of her own miserable existence to find her client’s daughter—and maybe a way out.
  • "Halo" by Nancy Kress, art by Lucas Durham Another outbreak? This time it’s a virus with an eighty percent infection rate that affects personality changes … permanently.
  • "Ashes to Ashes, Blood to Carbonfiber" by James Davies, art by May Zheng Planet K2-18b is almost dead, humanity is enslaved, and it’s Rickard’s fault. Now in his twilight years, he’d give an arm and a leg for redemption. Literally.
  • "Summer of Thirty Years" by Lisa Silverthorne, art by Gigi Hooper What if magic could undo the unthinkable, and undo Death itself? Would you use it no matter the cost? What would you sacrifice for love?
  • "Butter Side Down" Joe is a prospector tasked with exploring the cosmos on behalf of an all-powerful government. Breadna is a toaster. There have been weirder love stories, but that’s unlikely.
