Heaert of Dust – H.L. Moore
Iole City is in turmoil. Doran Ó Seanáin, leader of the Black Lung Gang, is determined to challenge the Archon, Arajon’s tyrannical ruler, for his brutal treatment of the miners. But Doran has more to deal with than getting stabbed and a city-wide lockdown that’s seeing his gang of ex-miners slowly starved out of their base.
His daughter Grace has turned against him, and the death of his wife haunts them both. Although he finds reprieve in Nathaniel Morgenstern, the apotheker with a mysterious past to whom he owes his life, the clock is ticking. The fate of the mines hangs in the balance and the Archon is closing in. Doran’s plan to break the cycle may very well be his last.
Utah: A Spirit Dream – Erin O’Quinn
How does a hippie and his thumbnail trailer figure in another man’s first gay Christmas?
Utah is a solitary Native American man who lives on the verge of nowhere, a huddle of tiny trailers in the foothills of Nevada’s highest peak. He is a medicine singer, a Paiute truth-seeker.
One day, injured, he is rescued by a stranger who soon begins to teach him the nature of healing and of physical joy.
Utah awakens on Christmas Eve to find his mysterious new friend missing. What will happen when Utah sets out to find him in the dark, in a snowstorm, while the children of the world wait for Santa?
A gay erotic fantasy holiday short story (multicultural)
Invasion – Scott James Magner
Lt. Marya Andreison just wanted to get her career back on track. After years of crap assignments and missed promotions, she finally got the deep-space posting she always wanted, only to find bigotry and intolerance are universal.
But when an alien transmission only she can decode comes through an unauthorized wormhole, her situation goes from bad to worse to awful. Now she’s on the run, with only her wits, her wedding rings, and a downloaded message that could start an intergalactic war.
All Marya wants to do is get back home to her family. And if she has to burn down what’s left of civilization to get there, that’s exactly what she’s going to do.
Lifehack – Joseph Picard
Regan has her ups and downs.
– Dumping her girlfriend: Down.
– Moving in with her loving brother: Up.
– Waking up to a plague of undead: REALLY down.
After the undead began roaming the neighborhood, Regan lost track of her brother. She’s spent the last two years searching for him. In the meantime, she’s fallen in love, only to be told, “Sorry, I’m straight. And you’re a lunatic.”
There’s a psycho out there somewhere who caused the outbreak, using nanotechnology, just for the fun of it, and Regan intends to hunt him down.
Oh, and the crush she still has on the straight gal? Dangerously distracting, when there’s a zombie around every corner.
(Although Lifehack is a complete story, tales in the Lifehack world continue with Watching Yute, and Echoes of Erebus.)
