OBSOLESCENCE Anthology – Complete Author List Announced

OBSOLESCENCE Anthology Complete Author List Announced

The OBSOLESCENCE anthology started with 12 Featured Authors a few months ago. Then we read through 628 open submissions and narrowed those down to just 12 additional stories to complete the anthology… And then we bought 15 stories from those open submissions because there were just too many good stories!

Now the digital ink has dried on all the contracts, and we’re ready to announce the full author list (this list includes both the newly revealed open submissions authors (in bold) alongside the previously announced Featured Authors).

The final OBSOLESCENCE Table of Contents (in alphabetical order)…

And if you missed out on the Kickstarter, you can pre-order OBSOLESCENCE from Amazon today (other retailers coming in the future)! eBook, paperback, and hardcover will release on May 16, 2023.
