A sleeping menace roused deep in a forest. For decades it bides its time, reaching out to tug at the ordinary lives of those living beyond the shadow of the trees. Children disappear. Unaware and unsuspecting, a group of old friends journey to a newly opened hotel in a clearing within the forest boundary.

Expect a life-changing experience[Re]Awakenings are the starting points for life-changing experiences; a new plane of existence, an alternate reality or cyber-reality. This genre-spanning anthology of new speculative fiction explores that theme with a spectrum of tales, from science fiction to fantasy to paranormal; in styles from clinically serious to joyfully silly. As you read through them all, and you must read all of them, you will discover along the way that stereo-typical distinctions between the genres within speculative fiction are often arbitrary and unhelpful. You will be taken on an emotional journey through a galaxy of sparkling fiction; you will laugh, you will cry; you will consider timeless truths and contemplate eternal questions.All of life is within these pages, from birth to death (and in some cases beyond). In all of these stories, most of them specifically written for this anthology, the short format has been used to great effect. If you haven'¿¿t already heard of some of these authors, you soon will as they are undoubtedly destined to become future stars in the speculative fiction firmament. Remember, you read them here first!

[Re]Awakenings

Two elderly sisters live alone in the house in which they were born, their quiet, ordered lives isolating and protecting them from the changing world beyond. This peaceful routine is ended when a stranger appears and shatters their carefully constructed cocoon. Terrified, the sisters spiral into confusion and a new, much darker reality.
