As a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, I eagerly awaited the release of a collection of short stories set in the world of Stephen King’s The Stand. This iconic novel, first published in 1978, depicts a world ravaged by a super-flu that decimates humanity. Now, a group of talented writers, including Tananarive Due, have been given the opportunity to explore and expand upon King’s universe. The prospect of delving into the aftermath of such a catastrophic event is both thrilling and chilling.

One of the highlights of the anthology is Adrian Tchaikovsky’s latest installment in the Terrible World series, where runaway technology poses a new threat to society. Amri, a survivor in a desolate and toxic world, encounters a being known as Guy Vesten, claiming to be a god. This juxtaposition of advanced technology and primal struggle promises a gripping narrative.

For those seeking a more political thriller, Artificial Wisdom offers a glimpse into a future where a climate crisis looms large, and the fate of the world rests on the shoulders of two candidates – a former US president and an artificial intelligence. Journalist Marcus Tully delves into a web of intrigue and conspiracy, shedding light on the dark underbelly of global politics.

On a lighter note, Annalee Newitz’s Automatic Noodle presents a heartwarming tale of robots running a restaurant in a post-war San Francisco, bringing a touch of whimsy to a world on the brink of collapse. This charming novella promises to uplift and inspire readers with its delightful premise.

Meanwhile, Helm by Sarah Hall offers a blend of literary fiction and speculative elements, focusing on the enigmatic force of nature known as Helm. Dr. Selima Sutar’s quest to understand and perhaps tame this relentless wind sets the stage for a thought-provoking exploration of humanity’s relationship with the natural world.

For fans of Star Wars, the latest novel delves into the adventures of the Bad Batch gang as they strive to rebuild a sanctuary in the aftermath of a devastating natural disaster on the distant planet of Pabu. This space opera promises a thrilling escapade in a galaxy far, far away.

In the realm of graphic novels, Ionheart offers a unique fusion of science fiction and fantasy, following a knight’s desperate flight across a world ravaged by cataclysmic events. With echoes of classic tales like Tintin and Blade Runner, this visually stunning narrative is sure to captivate readers.

Roadkill by Amil, translated by Archana Madhavan

Exploring themes of gender, power, and survival, Roadkill presents a collection of stories that blur the lines between science fiction and fantasy. From a future where women are a rare commodity to a chilling depiction of societal divisions in a world dominated by air purifiers, these tales offer a provocative look at humanity’s potential future.

Lastly, Durumi by Teo continues the gripping saga of a space pilot’s struggle for redemption on the moon, following the events of the acclaimed Ocean’s Godori. As the pilot navigates a treacherous landscape plagued by accusations and betrayals, the true nature of his quest unfolds in this thrilling sequel.
