Genre Fiction

MIRA

Barnacles and bilge rats - we're full of them. Mermaids, sea creatures, monsters from the deep, Pirates who ought to know better doing things that ought to be impossible. Selkies. Things with piercing eyes and tentacles - they're all here.We're drawn to the sea. The last great unknown, at least on this Earth. More than 80% of the ocean is unexplored - and over 90% of sea creatures have yet to be classified (maybe more, in those uncharted murky, murky depths). And these unknown monsters are going to seem like aliens to us. As if all those squid and octopus and great white sharks weren't alien enough. But deep down below, where the pressure would crush you in an instant and the dark is midnight black forever, life teems in abundance. Who's to say it's not intelligent? Who's to say it's not curious? Who's to say we won't see it one day wrapped around a ocean vessel or singing to us from sun kissed waves?We're proud to present fifteen fine stories with a satisfyingly salty tinge and we hope you enjoy them.After you've read them, you'll never look at the sea in the same way again.

The Remarkable Retirement of Edna Fisher

You're never too old for adventure.\nWhen you're a geriatric armed with nothing but gumption and knitting needles, stopping a sorcerer from wiping out an entire dragon-fighting organization is a tall order. No one understands why 83-year-old Edna Fisher is the Chosen One, destined to save the Knights from a dragon-riding sorcerer bent on their destruction. After all, Edna has never handled a magical weapon, faced down a dragon, or cast a spell. And everyone knows the Council of Wizards always chooses a teenager-like the vengeful girl ready to snatch Edna's destiny from under her nose.\nStill, Edna leaps at the chance to leave the nursing home. With her son long dead in the Knights' service, she's determined to save dragon-fighters like him and to ensure other mothers don't suffer the same loss she did. But as Edna learns about the abuse in the ranks and the sorcerer's history as a Knight, she questions if it's really the sorcerer that needs stopping-or the Knights she's trying to save.
