A cubed—Controversial Tales of the Fantastic from Alaska, Africa, and Asia—from an award-winning author!

Sometimes the most alien and exotic places are right here on Earth in our modern era. Journey along with three amazing science fiction & fantasy stories from each "A" part of the world (for nine total), including some major award finalists—all with some aspect of controversy.

The controversies range from cultural situations in the areas themselves and from the intersection of cultures, to inherently controversial topics, to controversies surrounding the very writing, publication, or award standings of the stories themselves.

All the stories are fantastic -- in both senses of the word, "excellent quality" and "science fiction & fantasy." All the controversies ultimately enrich the stories, and you'll feel enriched for having explored the exotic landscapes within.

George Guthridge is a Nebula and Hugo Award finalist, and winner of the Stoker Award.
