A comprehensive guide to the speculative sub-genre of alternate history fiction, this book maps the unique terrain of this vibrant mode of storytelling and then explains how to write it. First giving a concise conceptual overview and the critical tools to differentiate the different forms of counterfactual fiction, Jack Dann lays out the 'tricks of the trade' such 'Heinleining', how to create recognizable 'divergent points' and how to employ paratextual elements and 'layering' to overcome readers' unfamiliarity with invented counterfactual events and cultures. Alongside this, Dann takes you step-by-step through a complete short story to demonstrate, line-by-line, how alternative history fiction works. As well as Dann's exacting methodology for writing professional quality alternate history stories, this book also features a live-on-the-page Q&A with some of the most esteemed alternate history writers working today, including Kim Stanley Robinson, John Birmingham and Lisa Goldstein among many others, who will detail their own particular hacks, theories, processes, methods and strategies. Combining extensive and deep knowledge of the field with accessible writing advice, this is the ultimate guidebook to the broad and complex sub-genre of counterfactual and alterative history fiction.

The Man Who Melted is a warning for the future. It is the Brave New World and 1984 for our time, for it gives us a glimpse into our own future — a future ruled by corporations that control deadly and powerful forms of mass manipulation. It is a prediction of what could happen...tomorrow. The Man Who Melted examines how technology affects us and changes our morality, and it questions how we might remain human in an inhuman world. Will the future disenfranchise or empower the individual? Here you'll find new forms of sexuality, new perversions, new epiphanies, and an entirely new form of consciousness. Would you pay to "go down" with the Titanic? In this dystopia the Titanic is brought back from the bottom of the sea and refurbished, only to be sunk again for those who want the ultimate decadent experience. Some passengers pay to commit suicide by "going under" with the ship. The Man Who Melted has been called "one of the greatest science fiction novels of all time" by Science Fiction Age and is considered a genre classic. It is the stunning odyssey of a man searching through the glittering, apocalyptic landscape of the next century for a woman lost to him in a worldwide outbreak of telepathic fear. Here is a terrifying future where people can gamble away their hearts (and other organs) and telepathically taste the last flickering thoughts of the dead. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Would YOU pay to go down with the Titanic...? Jack Dann's novel The Man Who Melted is a breathtaking glimpse into the near future. It is a genre classic that has been called "one of the greatest science fiction novels of all time" by Science Fiction Age and a "masterpiece" by the St. James Guide to Science Fiction Writers. The Washington Post Book World compared it with Ingmar Bergman's film The Seventh Seal. The Man Who Melted recounts the stunning odyssey of a man searching through the glittering, apocalyptic landscape of the next century for a woman lost to him in a worldwide outbreak of telepathic fear. It is a masterful vision of our future, of an era when people gamble for body parts; when thrills come in vast variety, ranging from a pleasure jaunt on the refitted HMS Titanic, bound again on a final, fatal cruise (suicide optional), to the ultimate exploration: experiencing electronically the thoughts of those already passed to the other side, past death. This prophetic future is a hauntingly beautiful and frightening reflection of our own present: a time when people prey freely upon minds, souls, and emotions. Filled with passionate humanity and writing of the highest order, it is an important and resonant work by a multi-award winning writer who has been compared to Lewis Carroll and J. G. Ballard. As several reviewers have pointed out: one doesn't so much read Jack Dann's work as hallucinate it. And The Man Who Melted is no exception! "A powerful and fascinating book, a dance of Life and Death in the streets of a swaying Pompeii. Written with grace, subtlety and intense character insight, it is almost hypnotic in the hold it takes upon the reader. I recommend it highly."--Roger Zelazny "The Man Who Melted is that rare book in science fiction, a book about something... This is a deeply felt, intense, finally cathartic book."--The Washington Post Book World "A beautiful, terrifying cri du mort for humanity and an absolutely unforgettable book."--Elizabeth Hand in Science Fiction Age

A Chilling new anthology of all-original tales of horror Includes New Stories by: Ray Bradbury Graham Joyce Peter Crowther Kim Newman Sara Douglass Thomas Tessier M. John Harrison Gahan Wilson The anthology market these days is awash with small, themed works focused on very specific markets, like vampire erotica and tales of werewolves, or it features best of the year reprints. It has been years since anyone has dared to bring out a broad-reaching anthology that seeks to define the current state of the genre with all original tales from both masters and hot new writers.
