ZNB Presents: Year Two

Welcome to the second year’s-worth of stories from the online magazine ZNB Presents published by the small press Zombies Need Brains. In these pages, you will find original science fiction and fantasy stories of awe and wonder, darkness and light, ranging through all of the subgenres, including urban fantasy, alternate history, space opera, future fairy tales, and more. They come from the most talented authors in the field today—new voices as well as trusted and familiar names. Join us as we explore visions of the past, present, and future, as we encounter strange new creatures, both in our own backyard, in the depths of space, and our own imagination. Here you will:
—Search for a cryptid in the mean streets of the city that tricks you into walking into its mouth
—Scavenge in a world where AI has passed the singularity
—Relive the scents of a recently lost world at a near-future carnival
—Fleece the rich in a South African suborbirail
—Hunt vampires in the crypts beneath the Kremlin with a saint by your side
—Bargain with the sentient plants in a precarious alliance on a colonized world
—Uncover the alternate assassin of Abraham Lincoln
—Concoct potions as an apprentice with just a touch too much flare
—Become an AI struggling to complete its mission after crashlanding on an alien world
