Book Overview

Order a drink and lean in. Someone at the end of the bar on the starship is about to spin a yarn.

Eight short stories in this first volume of Tales from a Space Bar, the speculative fiction anthology written, read, and edited inside the actual, real life Space Bar in Pittsburgh. Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Award winner Mary Robinette Kowal opens the collection with a brand new flash fiction piece, and six more authors pull up a stool behind her.

The stories move from comedy to cosmic horror to quiet grief, each one caught mid-pour. An immortal knight comes for the queen he loved and lost. A welder learns that her radiation-proof space armor is alive, and hungry. A psychic bartender reads every regular and keeps what she finds. A writer begs a stranger to come open the door.

If you find yourself in Pittsburgh, Space Bar is in Market Square. The teleporter is just inside the door.

Featuring stories by Mary Robinette Kowal, Suvajeet Duttagupta, Deborah Sale-Butler, B.R. Myles, Chris Lee Jones, Tom Paul, and editor Dale Thomas Vaughn.
