These stories bring adventure and wonder to the grand expanse of space: spaceships and monsters, tentacles and insanity, determined struggle and starborne terror. Whether sprawling in scope or tightly focused and personal, these stories provide a taste of the culture and personality and madness of the universe looming ahead.Even now, we are blazing through the tail end of the submissions and attempting to notify all authors by the end of March.The short stories collected here combine the excitement of space opera with the weirdness of cosmic horror. But we weren't satisfied with that: we want to add illustrations, one for each story, and you can help with that. We are currently running an <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1557256029/ride-the-star-wind-where-space-opera-meets-cosmic" target="_blank">All in 1 Kickstarter campaign</a>, and it's almost over.[ATTACH]82420[/ATTACH]Just a few months ago, we announced the open call for our fourth anthology, Ride the Star Wind. The response has been wonderful! We received so many great stories that we're still reading. Still, we can still give you a taste of what's coming. We've already selected stories from the following authors:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Desirina Boskovich</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Nadia Bulkin</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tim Curran</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Wendi Dunlap</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Brian Evenson</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cody Goodfellow</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Remy Nakamura</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">DaVaun Sanders</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Lucy Snyder</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Wendy Wagner</li> </ul>And we're gradually adding a bunch more from the submitted stories. (We're aiming for around 24 stories total.)But we want to make it even better! We want to commission an illustration for each story, and we've got a slew of artists ready to make that happen:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Michael Bukowski</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Mike Dubisch</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Nick Gucker</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Justine Jones</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Yves Tourigny</li> </ul>For this All in 1 Kickstarter campaign, we're offering a hardcover edition of the upcoming Ride the Star Wind. We'll personalize each copy with a unique message, signature, and doodle. And each story within will be accompanied by an original illustration, created thanks to your support. Plus, you'll receive the ebook edition of the anthology as early as humanly possible. The asked-for goal will go toward paying the artists and the printing costs.<a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1557256029/ride-the-star-wind-where-space-opera-meets-cosmic" target="_blank">>>READ the full campaign at Kickstarter.com</a><a href="http://www.brokeneyebooks.com" target="_blank">Broken Eye Books</a> is an independent press based in Seattle, here to bring you the odd, strange, and offbeat side of speculative fiction. Our stories tend to blend genres, blurring the boundaries of sci-fi, weird, and fantasy, and mixing in elements of horror and other genres.</blockquote>
