Under the Dewey Decimal System, Shelf 804 currently holds a designation of "not assigned, or no longer used" - naturally, we were only too happy to lay claim to this rare niche of unoccupied library real estate. Step into a literary treasure trove that brings together the creative prowess of eight authors, spanning genre and style, as we populate our very own Shelf 804 with the thirty-two short stories collected in this anthology. Each writer has engaged uniquely with four original prompts to inspire their writing. The result is an anthology as diverse as our imaginations. Join us on a journey that will transport you from a dueling piano bar in Denver, Colorado to the deck of a sailing ship worthy of Edgar Allan Poe; from the startling and unexpected world of 'the innerverse' to the gleaming, strangely quiet corridors of a lab colony on the moon. We are excited for you to discover the hidden gems of Shelf 804.
