The Penumbra Vol. 3: Speak

What Is The Penumbra?

The Penumbra is:

-Literally, the very edge of the border between light and shadow.

-A series of connected, interrelated fictions spanning the supernatural, horror, and science fiction genres, along with their cousins.

-An homage to anthologies of speculative fiction in TV, comic book, and prose form.

In this volume:

-A festival in ancient Greece includes a theatre competition and grisly murders. A local group's strange play might be the link between them and a darker secret.

-On a remote frozen planetoid, an ages-old colony with unique language and customs has grown. Two local hunters receive a message of incoming ships from beyond the stars and need to decipher if the senders are friend or foe.

-On the isle of Papua, a storyteller gathers an audience around a fire to tell them of a mythic hero, his legendary deeds, and his terrible curse.
