ECO24: The Year's Best Speculative Ecofiction edited by Marissa van Uden
A must-read annual showcase of the best nature-based science fiction and fantasy short stories published around the world every year.
Speculative ecofiction has a long history, but ECO: The Year's Best Speculative Ecofiction is the first ever anthology series to collect the finest short stories published in this genre each year.
Featuring works by both rising stars and established names, this anthology is an exploration of humanity's relationship with other species and of our communal fears, grief, and passion as we try to protect our natural world—all told through the lens of the fantastic.
Ranging from literary science fiction and magical realism to dark fantasy and climate fiction, each story is a unique snapshot of how some of the most brilliant and imaginative speculative fiction authors writing today are engaging with this extraordinary time in Earth's natural history.
This vibrant lineup for the inaugural edition, selected by award-winning editor and anthologist Marissa van Uden and a team of passionate ecofiction judges from hundreds of nominations, includes works by Eugen Bacon, E. Catherine Tobler, Hiron Ennes, K-Ming Chang, Kay Vaindal, Kelsea Yu, Renan Bernardo, and many other incredible talents.
