Visitors from other planets have long obsessed us. H.G. Wells' War
of Worlds spawned a huge wave of speculative fiction but the roots
of such fears run deep in our literature, where the mysteries of
other cultures have long threatened the familiar and the
comfortable. Did aliens build the ancient pyramids? do they live
amongst us today? what happens when they invade? And are they just
the people from the next valley? or country? or planet? Would it be
an inevitable act of aggression, one of assistance and care, or
simply a reminder of our paltry existence in a crowded universe?
Flame Tree's successful Gothic Fantasy series brings a brilliant
new mix of classic and new writing, in this beautiful edition.
These new authors appear alongside the following classic and
essential writers: George Tomkyns Chesney, George Allan England,
Austin Hall, H.P. Lovecraft, A. Merritt, Robert Potter, Garrett P.
Serviss, Jonathan Swift, Voltaire, H.G. Wells; along with text from
The Taking of Ireland (retold tales from The Book of Invasions).

Twenty-five dark stories that span a daring breadth of genres - by
the author of "Objects of Worship" and "The Door to Lost Pages,"
which "Publishers' Weekly" calls "intensely memorable" and
"insanely imaginative."
In these noir tales that unfold at the edge of realism, mythic
nocturnes from impossible pasts, and disquietingly intimate stories
of speculative fiction, Claude Lalumiere explores our collective
and intertwined obsessions with sex and death.
"In "Nocturnes and Other Nocturnes" Claude Lalumiere plumbs the
deep trenches of yearning, fear and the agonies of unfulfilled
need." - from the introduction by Garry Kilworth
"Claude Lalumiere's stories are dark, mordant, precisely formed."
Lucius Shepard
"Lalumiere's protagonists exhibit the sorts of yearnings and
proclivities that our most respected social institutions teach us
to mistrust: erotic energy, artistic mania, idiosyncratic
mysticism, impassioned empathy with the natural world." James
Morrow
"Claude Lalumiere's extravagant imagination is matched by only two
other qualities: his compassion for his characters, and his
sparkling facility with language." Paul Di Filippo
"Claude Lalumiere has a poet's sensibility. He suggests; never
overstates." Richard Calder
"Claude Lalumiere's stories are delicious." Anna Tambour
"Montreal's own master of fantastic fiction." RoverArts.com
"Lalumiere's fiction is indeed fueled by a rich inner psychology
... it is potent, memorable stuff." "The New York Review of Science
Fiction""
Thrilling Tales of Canadian superheroes... and villains 75 years
ago Canadian cartoonist Joe Shuster co-created the world's premier
superhero: Superman. Over the decades the genre has gone from camp
to counter-culture, from pop art to postmodern, from noir to new
wave. Today's superheroes feature in bestselling novels, hit TV
shows, Hollywood blockbusters ... and Masked Mosaic: Canadian Super
Stories. Mexican luchadores wrestle primordial evil in Vancouver
... The Intrepids battle Nazis in Nova Scotia ... A mysterious
masked man rescues an adventuring heiress in a steampunk Gold
Rush-era Yukon ... Zombies and ancient Viking magic are unleashed
in downtown Toronto ... A godlike oracle wanders Calgary with her
cyborg handler ... The fearsome Iron Shadow stalks the streets of
Kingstonia ... The Coachwhip and Cat-Girl fight crime in lurid
wartime Montreal ... In these 24 tales Canada's most daring writers
reimagine the super genre from its outer limits to its pulp
origins, exploring the diverse landscape of Canadian identity and
geography. With stories by: Marie Bilodeau Chantal Boudreau Kristi
