RideTheMoonRide the Moon, the new anthology by Alberta’s new micro publisher, Tyche Books, is now available and feature stories by several SFCanada members.

SFC members with stories in the anthology include: Krista D. Ball, “On the Labrador Shore, She Waits”; Ada Hoffmann, “Moon Laws, Dream Laws”; Rebecca M. Senese, “Moon Dream”; Shereen Vedam “Aloha Moon”; and Edward Willett, “Je Me Souviens”.

From the Tyche Books website:

“For thousands of years, the Moon has inspired stories and legends about heroic animals, violent deities, and criminal humans. In modern times, those tales have been overshadowed by vampires and werewolves. It’s time for the Moon and her denizens to take back the night.

Follow us down a twisting path of fantasy and science fiction and rediscover the magic of the Moon. From Mermaids that collect souls to lunar colonies on the brink of disaster, inside these pages you will find out which lunar gods still walk among us and what new breed of monster you should be fearful of.

Ride the Moon contains 19 speculative fiction tales that showcase the breadth of writing styles from around the globe.”
