Where to begin? Right. Let’s get this out of the way first: the writers who contributed to this anthology (or were the lucky few picked by even greater writers) are all well-established wordsmiths in their own respective genres and gradually making waves in the writing industry – you don’t need to look that far ahead to start seeing their works lining the digital shelves of Amazon or your local bookstore.

Then again, with stories about a space murder mystery, a tragic yet oddly touching selkie love story, a man with his consciousness locked into a mech, and a dying person being granted the rare insight into a whole new alien civilization she first dismissed as the delusions of her oxygen-deprived mind, these are all stories with plenty of potential busting free from the minds of creative folks who get it right to think out the box. Besides, the element of magic in science fiction stories is quickly becoming a necessary building block for any compelling story as readers practically starve for their favorite authors (or any authors) to push the boundaries and tantalize their minds with something different and exciting.

You’ll find that, bad-ass characters, epic plots, and expansive imaginations in this latest addition of Hubbard’s Writers of the Future collection.

It’s not just the stories that solidify their positions in this anthology, but also the accompanying art from artists who have worked in the industry for ages – and I’m not only talking about the publishing agency. Try thinking along the lines of big screen concept art. Aw yeah!

From making contact with a globular-like ET in the Antarctic, not to mention strong tributes to William C. Dietz, all the way to a dying sailor bargaining for his life in a dangerous game of dice with the devil, you won’t be remiss about seeing what the future of these potential heavyweights have in store for speculative fiction as it stands today.

Review: Writers of the Future #33 #bookreview

I am a bit biased. I have friends whose work appears in this anthology. However, if I didn’t like it, I would have simply not reviewed it at all. The Writers of the Future anthologies always have a wide variety of stories by talented new voices in the fantasy and sci-fi genres. This one is no exception. Wonderful authors, great stories. I was impressed to find a fantastic ghost story in this one, Acquisition by Jake Marley. It was probably one of my favorites in the entire book. I also enjoyed C.L. Kagmi’s Drake Equation which I found rather thought-provoking. If you love speculative fiction – you can’t go wrong with this anthology. The artwork is amazing, too.
