Joy to the Worlds

What do you get when you mix mystery and speculative fiction, then toss in

the holidays for good measure? A mobster Santa, genetic hanky-panky,

Victorian villages, time-travelling detectives, a Krampus, eerie bell

spirits, and more-this collection of short cross-genre fiction is the

perfect counterpoint to traditional holiday reading!

Joy to the Worlds brings together eight short works that explore mysteries

across time and space. Ranging from dark dystopian worlds to comedic

retro-futures, four diverse writers find new ways to combine these disparate

worlds.

This collection stars national bestselling author Maia Chance, famous for

her cozy mysteries, dazzles with humor and folklore; IPPY award-winning

science fiction author Janine A. Southard beguiles with unexpected

time-travel science; Science fiction & fantasy bestseller Raven Oak offers a

look into the gothic past; and for a whole new perspective, debut fiction

author and art expert G. Clemans dives into the intersections of creativity

and mystery.

Whether you enjoy science fiction, fantasy, mystery, Christmas, noir,

gothic, or folktales-this collection has something for you.
