The Afrofuturism and the Black Fantastic Bundle

Blurb:

Welcome to some of the best in Afrofuturism and the Black Fantastic available today. These 11 unique, compelling works from every genre you can think of and a couple you probably didn't, include a guide to recognizing demons from a leader in the horror field, a graphic novel space opera with a visitation from a deer-gangster with more than a passing resemblance to Prince, and a fiction album that reveals some of space's deeper mysteries.

And there's plenty more where that came from: from African historical fiction to anthologies packed with engaging new voices and perspectives from across the diaspora there's more than enough to satisfy your speculative fiction tastes. No matter the flavor, there's plenty to savor.

The Starting Hurricanes Bundle

Blurb:

The Starting Hurricanes StoryBundle offers eleven fascinating speculative works that explore the concept of great changes wrought by people who are not Chosen Ones nor have god-like powers. Science fiction and fantasy (henceforth SFF) rely too heavily on these two modes; as a result, "mundanes" are often belittled, too frequently shown bereft of agency, imagination, courage or any ethical/moral compass beyond narrow self-interest.

The settings in this bundle range from several versions of a devastated Earth to a Mars where terraforming attempts failed; from humanity in complex interplanetary conflicts to disquieting alien biologies; from exiles in search of a home to underdogs suffocated from being evaluated by rigid labels. The subgenres include space opera, near-future dystopia, far futures with magic-like technology, first contacts, adaptations to planetfalls. Hovering over all these explorations is the specter of the inherent limitations (and hence immovable dilemmas) of our physiologies—and the blinkers of our assumptions, that are often more hard-wired than we'd like to think.

$5

The 2021 Cattitude Bundle

Blurb:

Cats. The internet loves them because we love them. We love cats in all their incarnations—playful, magical, irritating, and yes, occasionally evil. This StoryBundle explores the range of cats and cat behaviors as well. From the familiars to winged space cats, from cats who facilitate romance to cats who rescue others, every type of cat appears in this StoryBundle. Perfect for a day at the beach (without a cat) or at home in the AC (with cats nearby).

The Cosmic Visionaries Bundle

Blurb:

What is it about space opera that makes us love it so much? The action, the exotic settings, the colorful characters, the alien species? The promise of countless adventures in the face of the great unknown? The excitement of imagining what humanity may someday become and accomplish in the vast reaches of the final frontier?

Or is it mostly just that space opera is so gosh-darn cool? The ships…the technology…the planets…the ray guns and laser swords. In many ways, it's the ultimate escapist genre, transporting us to places and situations that dwarf our everyday troubles in every possible way. And yet, at its heart, space opera is all about us, about what it means to be human and how we can triumph over our limitations.

Whatever your reason for loving the genre, this bundle has it in abundance. The ten books I've selected (one of them a five-book set, actually) are jam-packed with space opera goodness that will propel you out to the furthest reaches of the universe and give you all the best feels while provoking plenty of deep thoughts along the way. – Robert Jeschonek

The Getting Justice Bundle

Blurb:

I discovered that the term "Getting Justice" means something different to just about everyone. And I found that fact great fun as I put this bundle together and tried over the eight novels, one collection, and one major anthology of stories to cover as many meanings of "Getting Justice" as I could.

I also discovered that "Getting Justice" and "Finding Justice" mean two very different things. Both terms dig up deep emotions in all of us. Sometimes memories, sometimes passions, but often just desires to get or find justice in a personal event.

The characters in the ten books in this incredible bundle work to get justice, often in very, very different ways. And I really, really enjoyed putting this together. There is something in here for readers of mystery to fantasy to thriller, all with the theme of getting justice. I think you will enjoy the read as much as I did.

The Singularity Bundle

Blurb:

Nick Mamatas suggested a bundle looking at that nebulous concept, the "singularity", and I thought it would be fun to take a wide-ranging approach to it, encompassing the post-human, A.I., space opera and much more. We have two Cyberpunk legends: Bruce(!) Sterling(!) and Rudy(!) Rucker(!) here, whose work needs no introduction. I mean, if that doesn't convince you, I don't know what will. I love the variety of novels and authors in this bundle.

Nucleation by Kimberly Unger
Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee (Machineries of Empire-1)
