The rhythmic and hypnotic motion of the Bellagio's fountains. A city with everything one might want and then some. Thuggish Itch's first collection, Viva Las Vegas, contains sixteen horror and sci-fi stories from sixteen inspired authors, all of which delve beneath the city of Las Vegas's bright lights and serve up a glimpse of what may lie within.

Historian Thomas Cahill argued that it was the Jewish people who invented the very concept of history as we know it. They were the first to perceive time not as an endless circle of life, death and rebirth, but as the flight of an arrow, on a linear path to somewhere from somewhere. But what if time is not one arrow, but a volley of arrows? What if there are other timelines, other histories, other Jews? Would they still have a covenant with the one God, or would they know strange gods? Would they have survived banishment, pogrom and Holocaust? What if the Holocaust had not occurred? Or what if it had succeeded beyond Hitler's darkest dreams? Some of the world's greatest speculative fiction authors explore these roads not taken, and many others, in Other Covenants: Alternate Histories of the Jewish People, the first-ever anthology of Jewish alternate history fiction. Contributors include Jack Dann, Robert Silverberg, Harry Turtledove, Jane Yolen, Lavie Tidhar and Benjamin Rosenbaum, among many others!

Anthology of dark fiction stories, based in the midwest, involving family. Ah, the Midwest. We are people of the earth, who roll up our sleeves and do what need's doing. We deliver an honest day's work for an honest day's pay, we try to give gratitude for the simple things- our health, the love of family and friends, and humility is no stranger to us, because the taller you think you are, well, the farther you have to fall on your face. We like to help other people when we can, whether it's with some sweat, or just a smile, because you should treat others the way you want to be treated. .Not a bad place to raise a family, right?Dig a little deeper, because all is not right where the bible belt buckles. That's where the Black Buttons series of short stories anthologies plants its speculative fiction seeds- the fertile "what if" soil of the Midwestern ethos.

Poet and author Max Sparber tells her knockabout, darkly comic, and ultimately tragic tale using the language of the era, borrowing from the cadence of folk songs, the fractured rhymes of newspaper doggerel, and the Irish-soaked slang of Manhattan's Old Fourth Ward.
