Krásky a vetřelci. Pulp stories
Fantastika je úžasná v jedné věci – můžete psát prakticky cokoliv a o čemkoliv. Můžete klást zásadní filosofické otázky, bourat tabu i řešit složitá společenská dilemata. A také se můžete bavit, dělat si z věcí legraci a být tak sexuálně explicitní, jak vám to jenom vlastní stud dovolí. A to nejlepší na fantastice spočívá v tom, že můžete úplně všechno dohromady. Vzít hromadu mimozemšťanů, nechat je kopulovat s těmi nejprsatějšími kráskami ze všech pozemských ras, a ještě si zadumat nad otázkou zneužívání moci v mezilidských vztazích. Anebo taky ne. Fantastika je totiž svobodná, protože i její autoři jsou ve své tvorbě ti nejsvobodnější, a nejzábavnější ze všech žánrů, co se v téhle zemi pěstují. Jak moc, to ukazuje tahle antologie. Čtěte a bavte se. Anebo hloubejte. Anebo ne. Je to jen na vás.
Vejdou mimozemšťan, Čech a Žmrnlub do baru a Čech řekne: „Co je, sakra, Žmrnlub?“ Ať je to cokoliv, v téhle knize to nenajdete. Na rozdíl od mimozemšťanů a Čechů. A Češek. A bojů mezi nimi. Tedy mimozemšťany a Čechy. A Češkami. Jak to dopadne, je jasné: Jsme přece Češi. Nevzdáme se. A pokud, bude přitom alespoň sranda. A taky hromada sexu. Nová antologie tuzemské fantastiky přináší to nejlepší, co se o střetu mezi mimozemšťany a lidmi dá napsat. S nádechem zlatého věku světové sci-fi a poctivou dávkou české a slovenské neomalenosti a schopnosti přijít s příběhy, při kterých se budete smát, bát, bavit i červenat. Čekají vás ostřílení autoři, krásky, krasavci, emzáci i hnusáci a jako bonus komiks o holkách z bombardéru, nacistech a létajících talířích.
Do antologie přispěli: Alžběta Bílková, Roman Bureš, Dan Černý, Martin Fajkus, Oskar Fuchs, Petr Heteša, Peter Jelínek, Jan Kotouč, František Kotleta, Vilém Koubek, Lucie Lukačovičová, Michaela Merglová, Martin Paytok, Judith Random, Kristýna Sněgoňová, Dalibor Vácha, Sára Vůchová, Ivo Železný

Ghost Stories
M. R. James wrote his ghost stories to entertain friends on Christmas Eve, and they went on to both transform and modernise a genre. James harnesses the power of suggestion to move from a recognisable world to one that is indefinably strange, and then unforgettably terrifying. Sheets, pictures, carvings, a dolls house, a lonely beach, a branch tapping on a window - ordinary things take on more than a tinge of dread in the hands of the original master of suspense.

Paycheck and Other Classic Stories by Philip K. Dick
With a Preface by the Author and an Introduction by Roger Zelazny "The collected stories of Philip K. Dick are awe inspiring." --"The Washington Post" Readers worldwide consider Philip K. Dick to have been the greatest science fiction writer on any planet. Since his untimely death in 1982, interest in Dick's works has continued to mount, and his reputation has been enhanced by a growing body of critical attention. The Philip K. Dick Award is now presented annually to a distinguished work of science fiction, and the Philip K. Dick Society is devoted to the study and promulgation of his works. This collection draws from the writer's earliest short and medium-length fiction (including several previously unpublished stories), written during the years 1952-1955, and features such fascinating stories as "Paycheck " (adapted as a major motion picture starring Ben Affleck and Uma Thurman), "Beyond Lies the Wub, The Short Happy Life of the Brown Oxford, The Variable Man," and many others. Here, readers will find Dick's initial explorations of the themes he so brilliantly brought to life in his later work. Dick won the prestigious Hugo Award for the best novel of 1963 for "The Man in the High Castle." In the last year of his life, the film Blade Runner was made from his novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" More recently, Dick's short story "The Minority Report " inspired Steven Spielberg's movie of the same title. The classic stories of Philip K. Dick offer an intriguing glimpse into the imagination of one of science fiction's most enduring and respected names. "Philip K. Dick's best books always describe a future that is both entirely recognizable and utterly unimaginable." --"The New York Times Book Review" "More than anyone else in the field, Mr. Dick really puts you inside people's minds." --"The Wall Street Journal"
