This special bundle package contains all nine volumes of Bardic Tales and Sage Advice. The first volume of our anthology series was published in 2005 and was originally intended as a single collection of fantasy, horror, and science fiction short stories and poetry. In 2010, we published Volume Two and transformed the project into an annual celebration of speculative fiction. Over the years, this anthology has featured a wide variety of emerging and established speculative fiction authors. Featuring the winners of our annual charity writing competition, the winners of our annual Reader's Choice awards, and select other authors, we consider these volumes a wonderful sampler of the range of styles to be found in the speculative genres.

Parsec Ink is proud to announce its 14th collection of short stories. Triangulation: Harmony & Dissonance is 21 short stories from around the world that explore this musical theme from every direction in the Speculative Multiverse--fantasy, science fiction, horror, the weird, and all points between. Let this mixtape of the imagination take you into the sway of songs of healing and songs of destruction, to a war-torn world where harmony is found in a melody shared by strangers, to an island of living instruments pining for a hand to play them, and to Earth, where a Martian virtuoso discovers that when music is diplomacy, atmosphere is as important as talent.

Who is holding the stars hostage? Don't we all have the right to star-filled nights? Do you miss our Milky Way Galaxy arcing overhead? Explore answers in these creative tales of human (and alien) reaction to the yin-yang of darkness and light. Travel the high ways with lovers in a hand-built rocket. Chase meteors across the sky to a windfall of wonder. Ride the star-train to Europa and dive into the salty oceans under ice. Pierce the dark sky with acolytes of the serpent god. and gasp at the lengths people go to see stars one more time. Trance dance under the cold skies of Ceres. Journey with us into darkness, for only there can we see the light. Don't we all have the right?
