Twelve all-new stories of the fantastic, the imaginative, and the weird are collected in this book of daring and imaginative tales of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and surrealism.

The authors include Yves Meynard, author of The Book of Knights; Glenn Grant, coeditor of Northern Stars and Northern Suns; Mark Shainblum, cocreator of Angloman and Northguard; Melissa Yuan-Innes, a Writers of the Future contest winner; Mark Paterson, a leading voice in the Montreal spoken-word scene; Maxianne Berger, author of How We Negotiate; Martin Last, cofounder of New York’s legendary Science Fiction Shop; Shane Simmons, creator of Longshot Comics; and Dora Knez, author of Five Forbidden Things.

Short Stuff: New English Stories from Quebec (2005), Claude Lalumiere, ed
Forty stories from the finalists and winners of the CBC Radio One and Quebec Writers' Foundation Short Story Competition from 2002 through 2005 are gathered in this anthology. Writers represented here are the cream of contemporary fiction coming out of Quebec today.

Lust for Life: Tales of Sex and Love (2006), Claude Lalumière and Elise Moser, eds.
Smart, witty, and fascinating, this anthology celebrates the diversity of the human sexual experience, from timeless romance to one-night stand and everything in between. Contributors from a variety of backgrounds are featured, including Canadians Holly Phillips and Neil Smith, fantasy writer Nalo Hopkinson, and the internationally acclaimed Indian author Ashok Banker. Their stories are by turns sensual or subversive, mysterious or gregarious, playful or lyrical. Each breaks down sex, gender, or desire in its own way until only the uninhibited, vicarious celebration of love—that great humanizing emotion—remains.
