Features stories by some of the legends such as Peter S Beagle and Nancy Kress, speculative fiction stars Cory Doctorow and Catherynne M Valente.

It's 2017 and beings that were once human gathering to fight in one last great war for control of the Vellum, a realm of eternity on which our world is just a scratch. But to tomboy Phreedom, it's about to become clear that there's no diabolic plan at play here, just a battle between the hawks of Heaven and Hell, with humanity stuck in the middle.

A hitman, a hooker, a homosexual kid, and a hobo suicide make the ultimate prison break - escape from Hell itself. But when news of their attempted escape gets out, the souls of the damned are transformed into a rioting mob, and all Hell truly does break loose. It's Escape from New York meets Jacob's Ladder, by one of fantasy's rising stars.

It's twenty years since the Evenfall swept across the Vellum and the bitmites took reality apart, twenty years since Phreedom Messenger disappeared into the wilderness and Seamus Finnan was imprisoned in his own past. But the Dukes, the remnants of the Covenant, still cling to power in their enclaves of order in the bitmite-devastated wilderness.
