ZNB PRESENTS: YEAR ONE:

Welcome to the first year’s worth of stories from the new online magazine ZNB Presents published by the small press Zombies Need Brains. In these pages, you will find original science fiction and fantasy stories of awe and wonder, darkness and light, ranging through all of the subgenres, including urban fantasy, alternate history, space opera, fairy tales, and more. They come from the most talented authors in the field today—new voices as well as trusted and familiar names. Join us as we explore visions of the past, present, and future, as we encounter strange new creatures, both in our own backyard, in the depths of space, and our own imagination. Here you will:

--Enter an abandoned colony on a hostile world
--Stop time in order to search for a missing child
--Come face-to-face with a horrific Stampede on an alien planet
--Battle a murderous golem made of salt
--Fight in the brutal pits of an apocalyptic America
--Race one final time on a futuristic gravity track
--Find betrayal and redemption in a world full of clowns
--Hunt for those who are killing your fellow gunslingers
--Rebel with the Little Match Girl in a search for a fate beyond her story

And so much more! Twenty-four stories written by Brian Hugenbruch, Jason Palmatier, Diana A. Hart, Evan Marcroft, Cislyn Smith, Hazel King, Barbara Ashford, Ryan T. McFadden, Maria Z. Medina, Adria Bailton, Marie Brennan, Crystal Sarakas, Marc Fleury, Anaea Lay, Desmond Astaire, A. Katherine Black, P.A.
