Third Flatiron releases Redshifted: Martian Stories

Juliana Rew of Third Flatiron Publishing announces the release of the latest in their line of quarterly online SF/Fantasy short story anthologies, Redshifted: Martian Stories.redshifted_250_final

She tells us the anthology “has something for everyone who loves the fourth planet from the Sun. Look for your sign as an astrologer casts a Martian colony’s horoscope, the Roman god decides war’s not in his stars, and a tycoon finds his way back to Barsoom. Cheer as a clockwork man takes his girl on the trip of a lifetime, a Martian bride refuses to miss her wedding, and Man’s Best Friend turns out to be a giant roach. Shadow a being who’s “just here to help,” and another who’s just here to hurt. Shiver as murderous antibodies attack an expedition, and a workfare crew struggles to dispose of hazardous junk from space. And of course, get a good laugh as you peruse the Want Ads and check your Marsmail.
