Story
Humans have always been fascinated by darkness. Especially the darkness of a city at night, when the black sky is made ever more inky by the pools of illumination dropped under streetlights. Whether the mean streets be in an alternate past charmed with dark magic or the dirty alleyways of futuristic crowded space stations, the city—and its darkened streets—will always fascinate us. Here then, an anthology of all new stories of science fiction and fantasy with a hardboiled noir twist that acknowledge that the city is a living, breathing entity...and it isn’t always on our side.

Except there is no trick. The starship is real. And Noah’s life will never be the same.

Publisher's Summary
History may be written by the victors, but it is not always written in stone.
It comes down to a bit of luck.
What if the histories of Billy the Kid, Vlad Dracula, and Jack the Ripper had a new twist, an alternate history? What if the fictional world of The Great Gadsby had a hidden tale?
The stories that connect the past to the present can lead us into a world we never imagined.
Get a glimpse of history in a new light.
