New World SF Bundle Launched!

Posted on Tuesday, March 25th, 2025

In case you missed it over the weekend, Lavie Tidhar has curated and launched a new World SF Bundle! Available via StoryBundle, here’s Tidhar’s announcement…

Join me for a trip around the world, from China to Nigeria, Luxembourg to the outer reaches of space. Hello – and welcome to the eighth annual World SF bundle! Can you believe we’re still here?

Things are definitely looking bleak everywhere you turn, which is why literature matters more than ever. What better way is there to reach across languages and cultures then to experience the stories people tell? The language of science fiction and fantasy is universal, and here I tried to bring together a group of remarkable writers from all corners of the world. 

The books included in the bundle include…

  • THE SIEGE OF BURNING GRASS by Premee Mohamed
  • JACKAL, JACKAL: TALES OF THE DARK AND FANTASTIC by Tobi Ogundiran
  • BREAKABLE THINGS by Cassandra Khaw
  • ECOLUTION: SOLARPUNK NARRATIVES TO TRANSFORM REALITY by Francesco Verso
  • THE PLEASURES OF DOWNING by Jean Bürlesk
  • THE GOOD SOLDIER by Nir Yaniv
  • THE ESCAPEMENT by Lavie Tidhar
  • THE GOLEM OF DENE SEVEN by Alex Shvartsman
  • THE BRIGHT MIRROR: WOMEN OF GLOBAL SOLARPUNK
  • SINOPHAGIA: A CELEBRATION OF CHINESE HORROR

The Bundle is available for a few more weeks.

New World SF StoryBundle Available Now!

Posted on Tuesday, March 28th, 2023

Lavie Tidhar has curated a new World SF StoryBundle! Available until mid-April, the bundle features 10 books selected from a variety of countries and cultures, showcasing the diversity of the science fiction genre. Here’s Lavie’s introduction to the bundle…

It’s been my great privilege over the past [mumble mumble] years to edit several anthologies devoted to international speculative fiction in all its forms, beginning with the first volume of The Apex Book of World SF back in 2009, done on a budget of chewing gum-and-string, and culminating this year with The Best of World SF: Volume 3 from Head of Zeus, the third in a series of huge, handsome hardcover volumes. Along the way I got to publish the World SF Blog for four years, and write about many international titles in a regular column for the Washington Post. But perhaps the most fun of these has been putting together these annual bundles for StoryBundle – a direct opportunity to offer readers a selection of wonderful books from around the world, at one low price, while directly benefiting the authors and their publishers. It is a reality of today’s publishing environment that the most exciting titles usually come from smaller presses, that in a crowded field it is hard to stand up, and that even a small bundle like this can often make a real difference to a book and its author.

The titles included are as follows:

  • SIGNAL TO NOISE by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
  • HADITHA & THE STATE OF BLACK SPECULATIVE FICTION by Eugen Bacon and Milton Davis
  • UNTO THE GODLESS WHAT LITTLE REMAINS by Mário Coelho
  • ION CURTAIN by Anya Ow
  • OF DRAGONS, FEASTS AND MURDERS by Aliette de Bodard
  • & THIS IS HOW TO STAY ALIVE by Shingai Njeri Kagunda
  • NOVA HELLAS: STORIES FROM FUTURE GREECE edited by Francesca T Barbini and Francesco Verso
  • HEBREWPUNK by Lavie Tidhar
  • THE LOVE MACHINE & OTHER CONTRAPTIONS by Nir Yaniv
  • AND WHAT CAN WE OFFER YOU TONIGHT by Premee Mohamed

Lavie is also the editor of the Best of World SF series of anthologies, published by Head of Zeus; he is also the multi-award winning author of many novels, novellas, and short stories.
