A deluxe edition of new writing and neglected perspectives. This latest offering in the Flame Tree Gothic fantasy series focuses on an area of science fiction which has not received the attention it deserves. Many of the themes in Sci-fi reveal the world as it is to others, show us how to improve it, and give voice to the many different expressions of a future for humankind. Dystopia, apocalypse, gene-splicing, cloning and colonization are explored here by new authors and combined with writing of an older tradition (by authors such as Martin Delany, Frances Harper, Pauline Hopkins and W. E. B. Dubois) whose first-hand experience of slavery and denial created their living dystopia. The Flame Tree Gothic Fantasy, Classic Stories and Epic Tales collections bring together the entire range of myth, folklore and modern short fiction. Highlighting the roots of suspense, supernatural, science fiction and mystery stories, the books in Flame Tree Collections series are beautifully presented, perfect as a gift and offer a lifetime of reading pleasure. Hardback, Deluxe edition, printed on silver, matt laminated, gold and silver foil stamped, embossed 25 illustrations
