Unfettered Stories of Imagination, Book 3

Acclaimed science fiction and fantasy writer Joseph Green offers startling revelations, surprising twists, and unexpected ends in this, the third book in the eclectic four-volume short story collection, Unfettered Stories of Imagination, that ranges far and wide along the spectrum of high imagination.

A woman strides a widow’s walk, waiting for her whaler husband… An older man seeks a younger wife, and finds one, beautiful, alluring and nothing like he imagined…A sad and frightened gazelle begs for her life…The most deadly virus in history kills one in three people, but that’s not all… Two resolute young men meet on a deserted island, knowing that only one can claim the young woman they both want… A disturbed musician roams the night streets of his city, unheard music in his head, unseen passion in his heart…

Fantastic Tales of Love and Loss

In this collection of short stories, reminiscent in tone of 1960’s and ’70’s classic sci-fi, the author deftly explores themes of gender and species-bending sexuality and obsession. A solid read for speculative fiction aficionados in search of new treatment for timeless subjects.

Otherwise Lost. Joyously found. This latest collection of 20 stories by Joseph Green is mostly science fiction, but includes a few grandly imaginative fantasies and re-tellings of English translations of “Arabian Nights” stories. I imagine the latter is perfectly legal as even by now the English translations are long out of copyright, if they ever were. My favorite stories are the ones originally printed in the online science fiction magazine that I developed and edited, “Perihelion.” “Astronaut Dreams” is perfect science fiction that is hard to forget. All the stories are uniformly excellent. Green is one of the best writers of the genre. He handles a number of genres with world-class skill.

Running Wild

I was surprised at how varied this was. Some very thoughtful and unexpectedly heavy stories. One maybe too honest, not sugar-coated for sure, showing dealing with one’s own prejudice.
