Dear Readers,
It's COVER REVEAL time! We are delighted to reveal the cover for Of Shadows, Stars, and Sabers, a cross-genre anthology featuring stellar authors of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Arriving February 2025 from Stars and Sabers Publishing, this anthology is edited by Jendia Gammon and Gareth L. Powell.

The exquisite cover illustration and design is by UK artist and illustrator Niall Grant. We knew the moment we saw Niall's art that we had found the perfect artist for this anthology, and we hope for our future themed ones as well! Niall's art recalls golden age illustration with a modern sensibility and a keen eye for detail. He has numerous big-name clients in both the publishing and music industries. We loved working with him on this project.
Niall's beautiful details represent the genres we will publish at Stars and Sabers Publishing, as well as the kinds of short stories in this anthology. The cover for Of Shadows, Stars, and Sabers is wonderful, and its contents are remarkable as well.
Our cross-genre anthology is still being put together, with stories from luminous authors spanning speculative fiction. We've already received and contracted several short stories. We are crowdfunding this anthology.
Authors appearing in this anthology include: Adrian Tchaikovsky, Ai Jiang, Alice James, Antony Johnston, Bonnie Burton, Cynthia Pelayo, D.K. Stone, David Quantick, Dennis K. Crosby, Eugen Bacon, Gemma Amor, Greg van Eekhout, Helen Glynn Jones, J.L. Worrad, Kali Wallace, KC Grifant, Khan Wong, Laurel Hightower, Lizbeth Myles, Mya Duong, Paul Cornell, Pedro Iniguez, Peter McLean, Ren Hutchings, Renan Bernardo, Sarah L. Miles, Stark Holborn, T.L. Huchu, and Jonathan L. Howard.
