Limelight and Other Stories le plus cher by Lyndsey Croal NEUF

"An impressive collection...with a surprising number of pieces that feel just prescient enough to worry about." -Rebecca E. Treasure, author and Managing Editor of Apex Magazine

Limelight is a collection of over twenty high-concept dark science fiction tales from near and far futures.

Lyndseys work explores the bright potential and the dark reality of our near and far futures through the lenses of connection and loneliness, love and heartbreak, autonomy and exploitation, desire and greed, wonder and despair. If youve ever imagined alternate futures, craved answers to the mysteries of the universe, or feared what might be lurking just beyond our reach, then you need this collection.
