Sequel

WE'RE AT IT AGAIN!

Please join six new authors, and six new artists in celebrating Canadian creativity and imagination in this original collection. From concept to creation, you are invited to experience:

the wayward reflection of a human soul,

the consequences of chemical negligence,

the deception of a tolling bell,

the imaginings of an offbeat youth,

the enigma of what lurks in the forest,

the secrets of a shrine buried deep.

We are thrilled to share with you these rousing and riveting stories, and companion artistic renderings. As every Debut requires a:

Advance Praise for Sequel

"Sequel grounds its flights of fantasy in the local, specific, and authentic, from a Saskatchewan reserve besieged by superintelligent coyotes to eldritch horrors at the bottom of a mining shaft in Northwestern BC. Six vibrant new voices in genre fiction bring you the kind of CanLit they don't teach you about in school. Beautifully illustrated and endlessly inventive, look no further than this anthology to find the future of speculative fiction in Canada."

-Rachel A. Rosen, author of Blight

"Sequel offers an intriguing mix of illustrations and fiction. All these authors are definitely up-and-coming as are the artists represented here."

-Rosemary Jones, author of The Arcane Gamble of Harvey Walters

"First you pass into a parallel world, through a fae door in a forest, or a supernatural fog, or a reflective surface. Next you encounter the cryptic in nature: a psychoactive mushroom, a sentient animal, an ancient murderous plant, an unnamed eldritch god of the woods. What struggle will you then face? To outlive death? To rescue the innocent? To save yourself, or know yourself? Or even to accept the end of your self? Of the six stories in this anthology of the uncanny, my favourite is “Hyphae” by Chandra Fisher: a tale of a struggle both toward and against ecstatic transformation beyond the human."

-Dale Stromberg, author of MÆJ

"Sequel is an exquisite mixture of art and story, each one a sensory delight. From magical realism to dark fantasy, supernatural beings to science fiction mystery, this anthology provides a captivating experience for fans of the fantastic. A fresh and compelling speculative fiction collection, brimming with talent."

-Diana Fedorak, author of award-winning Children of Alpheios
