Geek Force Five: Volume Three

by Maria Herring, Naomi Elster, Holly Day

A worm rustles through dry leaves as a man contemplates the end of his world; a scientist discovers a way to turn back the apocalypse; cousins play a game of Memory where the cards turn out to be more than twin suns and puppy dogs; the city of London is consumed by madness; and a woman wakes to find her living room destroyed and her boyfriend gone, with no memory of how it happened.

This anthology features "Beneath It All" by Holly Day, "Memento" by Maria Herring, "The Game of Memory" by Thomas Kearnes, "Blackfriars" by Naomi Elster, and "Carbon" by Jef Cozza, winner of the 2011 io9.com Environmental Writing Contest.

About the author

Besides reading and writing and teaching English, I’m known for:
- taking great long hikes up the side of mountains so I can chat to the trees
- drinking a small fortune in coffee
- drawing maps
- dropping stuff

I live in the Mont d’Or with my partner, Fab, and Bilbo our cat, but we can often be found in the UK visiting family. Pop over any time for chat - the kettle's always on!

I'm biased, but I love this issue. It's the end of the world, and no one is quite feeling fine but that's why we read short stories, isn't it?
