Tesseracts Seventeen (Speculating Canada from Coast to Coast to Coast) With nearly four million square miles of territory and a population of thirty-four million people – Canada lives and breathes storytelling. Editors Steve Vernon and Colleen Anderson have gathered thirty fresh new stories and poems of horror, science-fiction and fantasy from authors residing in EACH of the provinces and territories of Canada. Find out what cold darkness lurks in the heart of a Tuktoyaktuk blizzard. Hear a long-lost legend, lingering by a lonely lighthouse, perched on the shores of Manitoulin Island. Meet a hambone ghostly actor in search of his next gig in the Ottawa Museum of Nature. Learn the colors of the graffiti that tattoo the grey tenement walls of Montreal. In the Maritimes find out how coming events can be foreseen in a few shards of pottery or solve a murder by reliving the memory of a dead man. Explore a distant future, rife with acronym or trace the delicate fancies of the calligrapher’s daughter. Come join us on a magnificent cross-country trek through worlds familiar and unknown and enjoy over two dozen stories and poem - fantastic and frightening; inspirational, illuminating and eerily surreal.

[MORE] About the Series: [CLICK] for more information ABOUT THE TESSERACTS SERIES Reviews: "As usual with this series, this is a first-rate group of stories. They are not specifically science fiction, or fantasy, or horror, but somewhere in the middle. They are the sort of tales that could easily be on a TV show like The Twilight Zone. It is very much worth reading." -- Paul Lappen "These talented Canadian authors hold the readers spellbound with stories of breathtaking range and depth. If you are a fan of dark speculative fiction, make a stop in Canada with TESSERACTS SEVENTEEN and experience these wondrous tales from the north." -- Judy Comeau, countgore "On the whole, these are all well-written prose and I imagine that just about anyone with interest in science fiction, fantasy or dark fantasy will find enjoyment within these pages." -- Catherine Book, Nameless Zine Speculating Canada: Speculating Canada reviews Steve Vernon and Colleen Anderson’s Tesseracts Seventeen (Speculating Canada from Coast to Coast to Coast) Speculating Canada reviews Lisa Poh’s "Graffiti Borealis" Speculating Canada reviews Dominik Parisien’s "My Child Has Winter in His Bones" Speculating Canada reviews David Jon Fuller’s "Sin A Squay" Speculating Canada reviews Mark Leslie’s "Hereinafter Referred to as the Ghost" Podcasts: The Lighthouse Keeper’s Wife, by Dave Beynon
