Consolation Songs: Optimistic Speculative Fiction For A Time of Pandemic

Description

“For a while, we just slept and ate and told stories…” In difficult times, stories sustain us. These twelve tales of selkies, hockey players, retired systems engineers, monsters, copyeditors and changelings are connected by a thread of optimism, and of hope: that we, too, will ride out this storm. Consolation Songs: Speculative Fiction For A Time of Coronavirus is an anthology of speculative short fiction on an optimistic theme. All proceeds are donated to the COVID-19 appeal being run by the UCLH Charity, the charity supporting the University College London Hospitals NHS Trust.
