Cover art for the anthology Relics, volume one.
RELICS, Volume 1, a fourteen-story anthology of independent science fiction and fantasy, is available in paperback now. The collection was curated by Heidi A. Hill, L. Jagi Lamplighter, and Michael Finney in coordination with Based Book Sale.
The fourteen stories are organized into three sections — The Ruins, The Remnants, and The Restored — around the idea of the relic as an object that endures for a reason. Settings range from a mythic West and 1929 Chicago to a war-torn Italian town, the Sinai, the North Sea, a glacier at the end of the world, a rogue planet, and a relic found on Mars. The contributors move freely between science fiction and fantasy rather than staying inside a single genre. The anthology grew out of the Based Book Sale community and carries its name with the blessing of the sale’s creator, Hans G. Schantz.
Features my science fiction short story, “Legacy of the High Sojourner.” Here’s an excerpt:
