Twenty Epics, a new anthology edited by Susan Groppi (of Strange Horizons) and David Moles, has just come out and is available on Amazon.com. The book has stories by lots of amazing writers including Ben Rosenbaum, Meg McCarron, and Alan DeNiro. It also has a story by fellow Altered Fluidian Paul Berger, which he has described as "your basic tale of a collapsed civilization in the belly of a giant space squid, and the unsavory telepath who wants to re-establish a galactic empire."
What happens when writers try to get all the scale, drama, and adventure that we typically think of as "epic" into a short story? If you'd like to know, check out 20 Epics.
