„Das Jahr im Spiegel von Gedichten“ – ins Englische übersetzt von Herbert Windolf, Arizona, USA – ist die Geschichte einer deutsch-amerikanischen Freundschaft, die durch die Kraft der Poesie einen Brückenschlag über den Atlantik gewagt hat. Wie in einer der vormaligen Auswanderergeschichten unternahm ein ganzes Bündel von Annemarie Schnitts Gedichten eine lange Reise „from coast to coast“, um in einer reich gefüllten Antwort aus Übersee wieder an Land zu setzen und hier zu ankern. „Es gibt sie, die junge Altersfreundschaft, die neu beleben und auffrischen kann. Mir fiel sie vom Himmel über meine Gedichte!“, sagt die Lyrikerin Annemarie Schnitt über ihre jüngste Erfahrung einer gediegenen Kooperation, die sowohl für englischsprachige Leser in Deutschland als auch für Deutschkundige in den USA neue Einsichten bieten kann. Dieser Wegführer durchs Jahr nimmt vieles auf, was Menschen bewegt und weitertreibt und anhalten lässt. So viel Spannung hinter der Stirn wie viel Volt hält dich wach zum Weitergehen So much Tension behind the brow how many volts does it take to keep you awake to go on

An Air Force Loadmaster is menaced by strange sounds within his cargo; a man is asked to track down a childhood friend... who died years earlier; doomed pioneers forge a path westward as a young mother discovers her true nature; an alcoholic strikes a dangerous bargain with a gregarious stranger; urban explorers delve into a ruined book depository, finding more than they anticipated; residents of a rural Wisconsin town defend against a legendary monster; a woman wracked by survivor's guilt is haunted by the ghosts of a tragic crash; a detective strives to solve the mystery of a dismembered girl; an orphan returns to a wicked witch's candy house; a group of smugglers find themselves buried to the necks in sand; an unanticipated guest brings doom to a high-class party; a teacher attempts to lead his students to safety as the world comes to an end around them... What frightens us, what unnerves us? What causes that delicious shiver of fear to travel the lengths of our spines? It seems the answer changes every year. Every year the bar is raised; the screw is tightened. Ellen Datlow knows what scares us; the twenty-one stories and poems included in this anthology were chosen from magazines, webzines, anthologies, literary journals, and single author collections to represent the best horror of the year. Legendary editor Ellen Datlow (Poe: New Tales Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe), winner of multiple Hugo, Bram Stoker, and World Fantasy awards, joins Night Shade Books in presenting The Best Horror of the Year, Volume One.

Short novels are movie length narratives that may well be the perfect length for science fiction stories. This unabridged collection presents the best-of-the-best science fiction novellas published in 2015 by current and emerging masters of this vibrant form of story-telling. In “The Citadel of Weeping Pearls,” by Aliette de Bodard, set in the author’s Dai Viet interstellar empire, an Empress orders her scientific Grand Master to search deepest space and track down the missing Citadel, along with its technologies, to help defend against enemies amassing on her borders. In “The New Mother,” by Eugene Fischer, a freelance journalist pursues the career-making opportunity to write a feature article for a major publication following a contagion that turns human ova diploid, capable of parthenogenesis—reproduction without the need for sperm. In “Inhuman Garbage,” by Kristine Kathryn Rusch, set in the author’s popular Retrieval Artist series, a detective investigates the murder of a body found in a recycling/composting waste disposal crate in a dome on the moon. In “Gypsy,” by Carter Scholz, a meticulously rendered, slower-than-light, starship flees a totalitarian Earth on a mission whose outcome is not a clear-cut success or failure. Finally, in “What Has Passed Shall in Kinder Light Appear,” by Bao Shu, Xie Baosheng and his lifelong love, Qiqi, are small children as the countdown to the 2008 Beijing Olympics has begun. Their lives in China are prosperous but then history starts to run backwards.
