Even greater mistakes / by Anders, Charlie Jane,author.(CARDINAL)351541;
Introduction -- As good as new -- Rat catcher's yellows -- If you take my meaning -- The Time Travel Club -- Six months, three days -- Love might be too strong a word -- Fairy werewolf vs. Vampire zombie -- Ghost champagne -- My breath is a rudder -- Power couple -- Rock Manning goes for broke -- Because change was the ocean and we lived by her mercy -- Captain Roger in Heaven -- Clover -- This is why we can't have nasty things -- A temporary embarrassment in spacetime -- Don't press charges and I won't sue -- The bookstore at the end of America -- The Visitmothers."In her short story collection, Even Greater Mistakes, Charlie Jane Anders upends genre cliches and revitalizes classic tropes with heartfelt and pants-wettingly funny social commentary. The woman who can see all possible futures is dating the man who can see the one and only foreordained future. A wildly popular slapstick filmmaker is drawn, against his better judgment, into working with a fascist militia, against a background of social collapse. Two friends must embark on an Epic Quest To Capture The Weapon That Threatens The Galaxy, or else they'll never achieve their dream of opening a restaurant. The stories in this collection, by their very outrageousness, achieve a heightened realism unlike any other. Anders once again proves she is one of the strongest voices in modern science fiction, the writer called by Andrew Sean Greer, "this generation's Le Guin.""--

Nightfall and other stories / by Asimov, Isaac,1920-1992,author.(CARDINAL)155738;
A collection of twenty classic short stories by Isaac Asimov, author of the Foundation series, featuring the definitive and only in-print version of "Nightfall." From one of history's most influential writers of science fiction comes this collection of twenty short works of fiction, arranged in order of publication from 1941 to 1967. Compiled by Asimov himself, who prefaced each story with an introduction, it begins with "Nightfall," the tale of a world with eternal sun that is suddenly plunged into total darkness and utter madness. Published when the author was only twenty-one, "Nightfall" was arguably Asimov's breakout work, making such an impression that, almost thirty years later, the Science Fiction Writers of America voted it the best science-fiction short story ever written. The other stories in the collection span far and wide: Machines that learn to think for themselves-- and direct their thoughts to overturning the establishment. The discovery that Earthlings are being destroyed by a mysterious kind of psychological virus. A day when walking outdoors becomes a sign of psychosis. And many more. Twenty stories: each riveting, each a classic. -- Provided by publisher.
