Award-winning author Aliette de Bodard presents yet another innovative space opera that broadens the definition of the genre: this time bringing xianxia-style martial arts to the stars.Using the power of Shadows generated from their own bodies' vitality, Navigators guide space ships safely across the Hollows: a realm of unreality populated by unfathomable, dangerous creatures called Tanglers. In return for their service, the navigator clans get wealth and power-but they get the blame, too. So when a Tangler escapes the Hollows and goes missing, the empire calls on the jockeying clans to take responsibility and deal with the problem.Vi¿t Nhi is not good with people. Or politics.

It says so on her resume: "information gathering"-right after "poisoning" and "stabbing." So she's pretty sure she's got the measure of this group: they're the screw-ups, the spares; there isn't a single sharp tool in this shed.But when their imperial envoy is found dead by clan poison, this crew of expendable apprentices will have to learn to work together-fast-before they end up cooling their heels in a jail cell while the invisible Tangler wreaks havoc on a civilian city and the reputation of all four clans.

Strange, intimate, haunted, and hungry-Craft: Stories I Wrote for the Devil is an intoxicating and surreal fiction debut by award-winning author Ananda Lima. "An astounding new voice." -ERIC LaROCCA . "Propulsive, uncanny, and expertly built." -JULIA FINE . "Trippy, eerie, wry, and always profound." -JOHN KEENE . "Incredible. Truly wondrous." -KEVIN WILSONAt a Halloween party in 1999, a writer slept with the devil. She sees him again and again throughout her life and she writes stories for him about things that are both impossible and true.Lima lures readers into surreal pockets of the United States and Brazil where they'll find bite-size Americans in vending machines and the ghosts of people who are not dead. Once there, she speaks to modern Brazilian-American immigrant experiences-of ambition, fear, longing, and belonging-and reveals the porousness of storytelling and of the places we call home. With humor, an exquisite imagination, and a voice praised as "singular and wise and fresh" (Cathy Park Hong), Lima joins the literary lineage of Bulgakov and Lispector and the company of writers today like Ted Chiang, Carmen Maria Machado, and Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah. Craft: Stories I Wrote for the Devil includes: "Rapture," "Ghost Story," "Tropicália," "Antropógaga," "Idle Hands," "Rent," "Porcelain," "Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory," and "Hasselblad."A great next read for fans of Carmen Maria Machado's Her Body and Other Parties and V. E. Schwab's The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.
