A MULTIPLI CITY OF REALMS

摘要

An increasing diversity in speculative fiction is the new name of the publishing game this fall. The boundaries between steampunk and alternate histories set in similar near-modern time periods are beginning to blur, while lighter and humorous tongue-in-cheek sf titles are counterbalancing the still popular but grim dystopian trend. Although paranormal/ urban fantasies apparently have fallen a bit out of vogue, Harper Voyager executive editor David Pomerico still sees plenty of great books and submissions from that arena.
