"e;A collection of alternate and secret history short stories."e;From airships lost between universes, to golems winning the fight against racism, Lou Antonelli explains the many ways the world might have been. Dip into this collection of previously-published tales, and you'll experience:* Where technology suppresses magic in an apartheid-like state.* Ancient civilizations that succumb to their own nuclear holocausts.* Alternate worlds in which Christianity is just one of many minor Earth-bound religions, and others where it rules and spans outer space.* How the America's westward expansion would have happened if the New Madrid earthquake had allowed the North American inland sea to reform.Here you'll find Antonelli's version of Brigadoon, and of the sinking of the "e;Titanic"e; and the "e;Carpathia."e; You'll visit alternate realities that have been hiding Neanderthals, and pick up the lost Kodak snapshots of what might have been. With cameo appearances by O. Henry, Robert E. Howard, and Rod Serling, join this wild ride and delve into demonic possession, immortality, and the infinite variety of other worlds.Includes the 2013 Sidewise Award for Alternate History finalist short story "e;Great White Ship."e;Lou Antonelli is a modern speculative fiction author with classic sensibilities, honed by a long career as a newspaperman. - Häftad, Engelska

From ancient nuclear wars, to the secret of sexual attraction, with stops along the way for Bigfoot, ancient demons, and the truth behind alchemy, the stories in this book will take you on a truly fantastic journey through versions of Texas that were, could never be, and might have been. Steam played a big part in the first rocket launch from Texas, which was about a century earlier than we thought ("e;A Rocket for the Republic"e;). An unexpected experiment still running in the abandoned Superconducting Supercollider will introduce you to "e;The Witch of Waxahachie"e;. And where would you go if global warming forced you out of Dallas? Maybe "e;Rome, If you Want To"e;? After that, ask yourself if a flying saucer is worth a silver dollar ("e;The Silver Dollar Saucer"e;). The possibilities are limitless in Lou Antonelli's new collection, Fantastic Texas. Born in Massachusetts, Antonelli is a newspaper editor and up-and-coming author of speculative fiction.
