The Unexplained

The Unexplained
Introduced by Peter James
J. G. Ballard, Clive Barker, Ramsey Campbell, C. J. Cherryh and many others open up the world of the unexplained in a new anthology that spans time, alien encounters and the supernatural.
As we rush towards a new millennium the fever of weird science, alternative thinking and fascination with the supernatural has never run higher. The Unexplained provides a dizzy tour through the far reaches of the imagination with stories that explore the full range of experience at the edge of knowledge: from vampires in David J. Schow's Red Light, to psychokinesis in Olaf Stapledon's A Modern Magician, UFOs in J. G. Ballard's The Encounter and urban mythology in Clive Barker's The Forbidden.
With a mixture of genre classics and specially commissioned stories, The Unexplained shows that the X-Files did little more than dip a toe in the water. The sea of fiction that deals with the paranormal is wide and deep, with dangerous undercurrents …
Peter James is the author of several bestselling novels of high-tech supernatural horror. His books have been adapted for TV and he is translated into 22 languages.

Cyber Killers

Cyber Killers
THE INTERNET, CYBERSPACE AND THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY; IT'S THE FUTURE AND IT'S THE FUTURE OF CRIME.
Introduction by Peter F. Hamilton
Wherever technology takes us, you can be sure there will be a criminal waiting in the shadows to take advantage of every new opportunity to create mayhem. Computer crime, terrorism on the Internet, artificial investigators, virtual murder ... the possibilities are endless. And so are the terrors.
In Cyber-Killers Arthur C. Clarke, J. G. Ballard, Philip K. Dick, Greg Bear, William Gibson, Terry Pratchett, Iain M. Banks and Peter James among others chart a future where technology will be the death of you.

'Sci-Fi often works best when it shows what might be just around the corner - which is exactly what this excellent collection of stories does. An essential selection' Edge Magazine
'The line-up is stunning… the Pratchett (previously unobtainable) is a surprise and the Zelazny is worth the price of admission alone.' SFX Magazine
