The Speculative Elements #1
Undercurrents: A Cape Breton Anthology of Speculative Fiction
The fourteen stories in Undercurrents ply the literary oceans of time and space, possibility and imagination. And while you may find familiar themes in these pages-love, change, greed, spirituality-you will discover that they take on a new perspective when viewed through the lens of the speculative. Inside are stories that ripple and swell with the fiddle-playing ghosts, malevolent cats, urbane vampires, and ordinary folks who have drifted into the realms of the extraordinary. Set your oars in these unusual waters and see for yourself what swirls in the undercurrents.

While reading these short stories, many written by Capers (or come-from-away-ers now living in Cape Breton), I was wishing for a full-fledged novel. More please!

I never heard of this publisher before but I found this book at a library while looking for other Cape Breton short story anthologies, and was not expecting to find speculative fiction written by Cape Breton authors.
On that note, I loved all of these stories, every single last one was a roller coaster. They were an amazing range of stories, all fascinating, interesting, so many stories from all genres of speculative fiction. One moment your in space in dog fights, than thrown into a frozen fantasy world, and than, puff, in a magical Victorian England. This is by far one of the greatest anthology's I have ever read.
