L. RON HUBBARD PRESENTS WRITERS OF THE FUTURE VOLUME 40 The Best New SF & Fantasy Short Stories of the Year

It's a family affair with father, mother, and daughter--Jim, Tamra, and Taylor Meskimen--sharing the narrative duties in this inventive collection of Writers of the Future Contest-winning science fiction and fantasy short stories. The works are by established and first-time authors from around the globe. Taylor brings a wistful gentleness to an AI cat in "The Edge of Where My Light Is Cast" by Sky McKinnon, while Tamra captures the third-world-folktale-feel of Jack Nash's "Son, Spirit, Snake." Jim's voice finds the straightforward golden-age sci-fi tone in a reflection on sacrifice in "Ashes To Ashes, Blood To Carbonfiber" by James Davies. The audiobook also features English voice talent Victoria Summer and a fun 1940s pulp piece by L. Ron Hubbard, stylishly read by Jim Meskimen.
