Synopsis

Variable Stars breaks the mold of conventional science fiction and fantasy, presenting 28 stories of aliens, robots, and apocalypse from strange and new perspectives. Inside this volume you will find childhood dreams and alien plots, humanities hope and also its destruction.

To the Plains of Etherea is the story of an adventurer facing the loss of his companion who has been by his side through all of their struggles. It's a heart-rending tale of perseverance and deepest caring.

Interview with Julie Fairweather, Star of Lawnmower Hands, is a story of utmost decadence in the form of a magazine interview, shining a light on the depravity that hides in ignoring the truth.
