Ukraine – Vita Nostra
Sometimes I have absolutely no idea where to start. Should I try and tie the book to Ukraine somehow? See if I can find a connection to the Soviet Union or the post-Communist era? Maybe there is something to be said about Ukrainian/Russian/Soviet university dorms? Or maybe I should talk about fear and psychological horror? Let’s go with that.
Estonia – The Man Who Spoke Snakish
Originally humans were the brothers of snakes. Snakes are the highest order of being, capable of communicating and commanding all animals. They taught their language, Snakish, to humans, and for many thousands of years humans and snakes lived in harmony in the forest.
Norway – Odin’s Child
Roleplaying games are one of the funnest, if not the best, ways to bring a character to life.

Iceland is a tiny Nordic island in the North Atlantic Ocean, sparsely populated, with a sun that doesn’t always set.

Canada is the perfect setting for steampunk. In this collection of short stories, fifteen authors reimagine Queen Victoria’s former domain as a steam-powered sci-fi/fantasy setting.
United States – American Hippo

Jamaica – Black Leopard, Red Wolf
Tracker (no other name) is an infamous mercenary; he has a red wolf’s eye, a nose that can track any person from any distance, and a spell cast upon him by a Sangoma (a kind of witch, but don’t call her that) that protects him against metals and poisons.
Cuba – Red Dust
This book is many things, but mainly it is the diary of a Caribbean Zombie, and his attempt to decipher what it means to be human.
