Beacons: Stories for Our Not So Distant Future

A riveting & provocative collection of short fiction, Beacons throws down the gauntlet to award-winning writers, challenging them to devise original responses to the climate crisis. From Joanne Harris’ cautionary tale of a world where ‘outside’ has become a thing of the past, to Nick Hayes’ graphic depiction of the primeval bond between man & nature, each story thrills the senses as it attempts to make sense of a world warping into something unfamiliar. Original, eclectic, & inventive, Beacons warns & inspires by offering stories that are as various as our possible futures.

All author royalties will go to the Stop Climate Chaos Coalition.
