Third Flatiron's new all-original science fiction/fantasy/horror/humor anthology, Rhapsody of the Spheres, presents short stories about things that give us joy or meaning. The theme is inspired by the well-known "music of the spheres" philosophy (aka musica universalis) and movements of the heavenly bodies, which dates as far back as ancient Greece. The term, rhapsody refers to an outpouring of ecstatic expression or an epic poem. Follow an international group of authors as they imagine visions ranging from an exhilarating space treasure hunt and alien contact, to nature, family, dreamscapes, discovery, mythology, and the power of music. Notably, a long sought-after truce with dragons is achieved. Includes a flash humor section, "Grins & Gurgles."
