INFINITE WORLDS.
INFINITE POSSIBILITIES.

A woman visits her teenage grandfather on the day he meets her grandmother. A young married couple comes to a fork in humanity’s road on Mars. A detective meets an unusual amnesiac in postwar New York City. A pair of explorers confront a frozen sky. An old man questions his sanity when he begins receiving strange calls. A little girl spends one last day with her beloved father before he goes off to war. A man loses the ability to worry while exploring a planet orbiting a distant star. These are just some of the stories in Ten Worlds Away, a gripping collection of speculative fiction inspired by the classic science fiction of the mid-20th century and Rod Serling’s groundbreaking television series, The Twilight Zone. FROM PUBLISHERS WEEKLY:
“Mari (The Beachhead) collects 10 poignant and contemplative speculative shorts that run the gamut of human emotions, endeavors, and faults. … Mari cites The Twilight Zone as his inspiration for this collection, and the story that will most remind readers of an episode is ‘Constant Contact, ‘ in which a lonely old man receives phone calls from dead loved ones. This clever collection is sure to please fans of wistful sci-fi.”Number of Pages: 126Dimensions: 0.3 x 8 x 5.25 INPublication Date: January 26, 2022
