When you hear of claw machines, what do you picture? In this anthology, claw machines aren't just beacons for lost dollars and frustration, packed with cheap toys that rarely make it home with us. The claw machine is a game, a curse, a tool, even a drug-induced metaphor. It has omens of death, portals to other dimensions, plushies that aren't what they seem, eggs filled with wishful thinking, society's view on perfection, and so much more. Claw Machine is a collection of stories, with a special introduction, written by 18 established and emerging authors. Their unique speculative stories and dark fiction will grab and pull you in. Unlike the arcade game, you'll definitely walk away with something after reading these stories.

Whether exploring new vistas or encountering ancient ones, the call of unknown places and unseen sights is strong in many of us. Our planet has so many wild places-jungles, deserts, mountains, and more, and the cultures that go with them-the type of 'wild' that you might have found on the steppes of Mongolia, the dusty heat of India, the blowing sands of the Sahara. Imagine all that wild, difficult nature wrapped up in speculative fiction. Also embracing the pioneering spirit, we find generational ships, the wild west of a post-apocalypse, or the attempt to conquer the sky. Join us on this journey through the imagination as we venture out to forge new paths.
