Alison Littlewood is the author of eight novels, two short story collections, a novella, and a novel written under the nom de plume “A.J. Elwood” called The Cottingley Cuckoo which was published in 2021 by Titan Books. Her novel A Cold Season was selected for the Richard and Judy Book Club, and her short stories have been picked for several best of the year anthologies. She won the 2014 Shirley Jackson Award for Short Fiction for her story “The Dog’s Home” – which is certainly one of the darkest pieces she’s written, and contains one of her most shocking endings – and has just this week been nominated for the ALCS’s Tom-Gallon Trust Award for her story “Swanskin” in the anthology After Sundown, edited by Mark Morris. Alison lives with her partner Fergus in deepest Yorkshire, England, in a house of creaking doors and crooked walls. She loves exploring the hills and dales with her two hugely enthusiastic Dalmatians and has a penchant for books on folklore and weird history, Earl Grey tea, and semicolons.

Jay Lake

Ruth Nestvold

Flash Fiction: “Black Baccara” by Jay Lake &amp; Ruth Nestvold("Tales of the Rose Knights" #6, originally published in Daily Science Fiction.)Baccara is one of the dark ones from among the ranks of the Rose Knights. She is a pale woman, needle-thin with large eyes dark as bruises. She always goes clad in satin of a color that falls somewhere between maroon and leaf mold. Baccara follows battle rather than leading it like most of her fellows, always in the service of the Armies of the Moon.Baccara can hear the whispers of the departing souls of the dead. From them she bargains for secrets. And the Velvet Knight always keeps her bargains.Jay Lake lived in Portland, Oregon until his death in 2014, shortly before his 50th birthday. His books include Kalimpura from Tor and Love in the Time of Metal and Flesh from Prime. His short fiction appeared regularly in literary and genre markets worldwide. Jay was a winner of the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer, and a multiple nominee for the Hugo and World Fantasy Awards. In 2015, he posthumously received the Locus Award for his collection Last Plane to Heaven.Learn more about him and his work at jlake.com.Ruth Nestvold has published widely in science fiction and fantasy, her fiction appearing in such markets as Asimov's, F&amp;SF, and Gardner Dozois' Year's Best Science Fiction.

Steph looked up and down it and saw honey-coloured houses, a quiet church, and behind everything, sleeping fields. She wrinkled her nose. ‘Street’ didn’t seem the right word for it, not really; she didn’t know what was. ‘Lane’ was too small – this was the centre of Long Compton – and ‘road’ implied it was going somewhere. Anywhere.She thought again of the way her mother had said goodbye, walking down the platform after the train as if she hadn’t wanted Steph to go. Then she’d turned before she was quite out of sight, taken her new husband’s arm and walked away, a spring to her step, off to live in some cheap bar on an unfashionable stretch of Italian coastline. Steph scowled. She had asked if she could go too – just once – and she didn’t really remember the words her mother had used, but she remembered the look in her eyes. Steph knew, when she saw that look, that it wasn’t any use. The flat in London was already sold – the one that lay on a street, a proper street – and now she was here in the Cotswolds with her dad, nowhere to go and nothing to do, in the far reaches of the back of beyond.Alison Littlewood is the author of A Cold Season (published by Jo Fletcher Books), which was selected for the Richard and Judy Book Club, where it was described as "perfect reading for a dark winter’s night". Her sequel, A Cold Silence, has recently been published. Her next book, The Hidden People, is about the little folk and the fate of a suspected changeling. Alison won the 2014 Shirley Jackson Award for Short Fiction and her short stories have been picked for several Year’s Best anthologies.
