Lynn Veach Sadler

A secret society of cats that pull the strings of history...the strange relationship between trolls and football...a congressional hearing concerning terrorists and dance lessons. You've never dreamt of things like this. Award winning author and poet Lynn Veach Sadler presents over twenty of her speculative stories in this unique collection.

Not Dreamt of in Your Philosophy

Lynn Veach Sadler weaves this coming of age tale with old wives' tales and a twist of menace to deliver a stunning, thoughtful story of youth and penance. Polly Junior never could understand why all the womenfolk in her sleepy little town would get so worked up over the arrival of Mr. Rufe. Why did everyone feel obligated to open their homes each year to this wanderer, who arrived each spring to the delight of the town ladies and the dismay of the town menfolk? Nothing is what it seems, and soon it becomes apparent that the seemingly harmless tradition carries a darker purpose.

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.
