Ribofunk
Summary
Ribofunk contains 11 masterful and surprising works of imagination. In all of them, biology is the science that drives the engine of life and of story: the Protein Police patrol for renegade gene-splicers; part-human sea creatures live in the Great Lakes and clean up toxic spills; a river has become sentient; there is a bodyguard who is part wolverine and a thrill-seeker climbs a skyscraper and gets stuck, literally.

The Best of Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine, July-August 2003
Summary
Take Audible's July/August Fantasy & Science Fiction collection with you to the beach. It's got rich humor galore, as well as a couple of particularly evocative futures which offer new perspective on these troubled times.We begin with the latest installment of Paul Di Filippo's Plumage from Pegasus column, "Write What You Sell," providing a new twist on literature and publishing.Then, Al Michaud takes us Down East for the annual clambake in "Clem Crowder's Catch," a Maine horror story that will elicit both shivers and laughs.Benjamin Rosenbaum's surreal "Red Leather Tassels" introduces us to the sex life of a very special woodpecker. "Repository" by Carol Emshwiller is an edgy and powerful glimpse into the mind of "the universal soldier." Harlan Ellison reads Harvey Jacobs' existential fish story, "Spawning," with comic restraint.From the pen of the wonderful Pat Murphy comes "Dragon's Gate," a tale about a prince, a minstrel and, of course, a dragon, that sets the entire tradition of such stories on its ear.And finally, Adam-Troy Castro's stunning novella "The Tangled Strings of the Marionettes," explores the nature and purposes of art, humanity, and perhaps life itself.

The Big Get-Even
Summary
A disbarred lawyer and an ex-arsonist cross paths and find themselves organizing an elaborate real estate scam to bilk a shady rich speculator out of 20 million dollars. The sting is personal for ex-arsonist Stan and for a woman named Vee, who plays an essential role in the caper. Glen, the narrator and former lawyer, finds himself at first just along for the money. Eventually, as bonds deepen among the conspirators, Glen too discovers he has a lot more at stake than simply the loot. This cast of lively eccentrics discovers along the way that getting to the big payoff might just be more scary fun than the monetary prize itself.

Infinite Fantastika
Summary
This eclectic, wide-ranging collection of some of Di Filippo's newest stories - plus one newly excavated gem from nearly thirty years past - illustrates the enormous territory encompassed by modern fantastical fiction in general, and this writer's realm in particular. From the sheer Lovecraftian weirdness found in The Horror at Gancio Rosso to the biopunk future of The Herple is a Happy Beast; from the old-school pulp of Airboy and Vooda Visit the Jungles of the Moon to the hardcore cyberpunk of A Faster, Deeper Now, these tales chart the unexpected, the comical, the tragic, and the likely-to-happen. Whether our heroes are trying to kill God (The Trail of the Creator, the Trial of Creation) or time-travel to a happier era (I'll Follow the Sun), they exhibit all the intelligence, derring-do, resilience, and manic assaults on the multiverse found in the best classic imaginative literature.

The Deadly Kiss-Off
Summary
Glen and Stan, the odd couple of scamdom, are back from their Big Get-Even adventure with another get-rich-quick-or-go-down-in-flames scheme. As part of their trafficking in counterfeit merch, they are looking to turn a few pallets of grade Z computer chips into some military hardware sure to interest dictators and despots and drug lords around the globe. Bankrolled by a greedy local crime boss, they hope to promote a half-genius, half-addlepated invention from a naive and principled inventor into a bonanza. But no one ever counts on complications arising from a wayward wife, some sexy Eurotrash go-betweens, and a lonely, entrepreneurial girlfriend who finds her native tropical isle conducive to a troublesome loosening of morals. Add in a most unconventional explosives expert, and you have a caper half hilarious, half deadly, and 100 percent entertaining. A Publishers Weekly pick of most anticipated books of spring 2019 in mysteries and thrillers.
