Death Is the Great Leveller, Even for the top 1%! The wealthiest
people in the solar system abandoned the Earth for a sanctuary in
space, leaving the poor to die from climate change. But the 1%
won’t be safe for long… because a murderer is on the loose,
with the rich as their target! Soon Elise, an employee on the
billionaires’ space station, is wrapped up in a deadly
investigation, dragged deeper into the conspiracy as the last body
she wants to go missing does. Even worse, her withdrawals from a
highly addictive substance are getting worse and causing terrible
hallucinations. But those drug-induced delusions are nothing
compared to the gut-wrenchingly grisly discoveries at the heart of
this deadly whodunnit… Bestselling novelist Sarah Gailey (Eat the
Rich, Just Like Home) and rising artistic star Liana Kangas (TRVE
KVLT) take a stab at the ultra-wealthy, their dreams of escaping
the planet they’ve put in peril, and the consequences of that
economic terror in the near future… Collects Know Your Station

Even time travel can't unravel love Time-travel is a way for
writers to play with history and imagine different futures - for
better, or worse. When romance is thrown into the mix, time-travel
becomes a passionate tool, or heart-breaking weapon. A time agent
in the 22nd century puts their whole mission at risk when they fall
in love with the wrong person. No matter which part of history a
man visits, he cannot not escape his ex. A woman is desperately in
love with the time-space continuum, but it doesn't love her back.
As time passes and falls apart, a time-traveller must say goodbye
to their soulmate. With stories from best-selling and award-winning
authors such as Seanan McGuire, Alix E. Harrow and Nina Allan, this
anthology gives a taste for the rich treasure trove of stories we
can imagine with love, loss and reunion across time and space.
Including stories by: Alix E. Harrow, Zen Cho, Seanan McGuire,
Sarah Gailey, Jeffrey Ford, Nina Allan, Elizabeth Hand, Lavanya
Lakshminarayan, Catherynne M. Valente, Sam J. Miller, Rowan
Coleman, Margo Lanagan, Sameem Siddiqui, Theodora Goss, Carrie

the mantle; are they ready? In the first arc of WILLOWVERSE, trying
to help Buffy heal from her trauma proves to be more than Giles and
Willow bargained for! She's left without her powers or identity,
and it's up to an unprepared and inexperienced new Slayer to take
up the mantle-Willow. But thankfully Willow isn't alone, as the
spell also leads to another newly-activated Slayer, serving as a
guide for this speed-run of training. But even with the threat of 4
terrifying and sometimes zany monsters, the darkest threat may be
Willow herself, as she struggles to cope. Can Willow's allies save
her from herself? Writer Sarah Gailey (Eat the Rich) along with
artists Michael Shelfer (Domino: Hotshots), Sonia Liao (A Spark
Within the Forge), Puste (Rick and Morty Presents Morty's Run), and
Claudia Balboni (Fairlady) bring the first arc of a new Vampire
Slayer! Collects The Vampire Slayer #1-4.

In 2017 Sarah Gailey made her debut with River of Teeth and Taste
of Marrow, two action-packed novellas that introduced readers to an
alternate America in which hippos rule the colossal swamp that was
once the Mississippi River. Now readers have the chance to own both
novellas in a single, beautiful volume. Years ago, in an America
that never was, the United States government introduced herds of
hippos to the marshlands of Louisiana to be bred and slaughtered as
an alternative meat source. This plan failed to take into account
some key facts about hippos: they are savage, they are fast, and
their jaws can snap a man in two. By the 1890s, the vast bayou that
was once America's greatest waterway belongs to feral hippos, and
Winslow Houndstooth has been contracted to take it back. To do so,
he will gather a crew of the damnedest cons, outlaws, and assassins
to ever ride a hippo. American Hippo is the story of their
fortunes, their failures, and his revenge.
