Love Stories

"An imaginative collection that puts a modern spin on beloved fairy tales and myths." — Kirkus Reviews What is love? What can love drive us to do? In these 12 SF/F stories, love pushes us to revenge, to reach beyond the boundaries of life and death. To rescue a family member. To fight the good fight without even knowing it, or to risk everyone and everything to save someone who may or may not be worthy. To make the wrong decisions and walk into hell. To transcend who we are. Love can make us both the best and worst versions of ourselves. Exploring grief, affection, and the ties that bind us all together, this thought-provoking and diverse set of a dozen fantastical stories takes readers on a riveting trip around the galaxy. Whether it’s venturing into the criminal underworld with a wizard or delving into tough questions about how society treats the differently abled, Villyard’s elegant prose infuses each otherworldly scenario and cleverly evokes critical contemplations on expectations, reality, and humanity's future. Love Stories is an eclectic collection of speculative fiction tales. If you like relatable characters, complex themes, and mind-bending twists, then you’ll adore Katherine Villyard’s contrast of the mythical and the mundane.
