Tesseracts Ten: A Celebration of New Canadian Speculative Fiction (Paperback)

The tenth annual volume of an acclaimed Canadian anthology series presents a mixture of innovative and more traditional short stories and verse. Unlike the earliest editions, which used Canada only as a unifying theme, all of the authors included this time are native or naturalized Canadians. Such relative newcomers as Victoria Fisher and Mark Dachuk share equal billing with veterans including Scott McKay and Matthew Hughes. Tales of macabre horror, such as "The Undoing," Sarah Totton's peek into a future in which criminal punishment involves amputation, mingle with technological speculations, as exemplified by Allen Moore's "Donovan's Brain," about artificial intelligence infiltrating the Internet. An alternate history piece, a futuristic ghost story, an amusing poem about Frankenstein, and French Canadian tales by Michele Laframboise and Rene Beaulieu, ably translated by Sheryl Curtis, all find niches here. Far from feeling like a limitation, the Canadian focus results in a volume of superior writing that transcends territory to appeal to speculative-fiction fans everywhere. Carl Hays
