Map of the Drowned City: Thirty Dives into the Depths

The world is full of monsters. An eye the size of a wagon wheel watches from the darkness. Behind the temple doors, the dragon wakes. A man with hooves dances among the flames. In the attic, cobwebbed dolls gather in a circle. The gorilla is pissed that you’ve stolen his coffee. The kraken stirs. A gator’s got Grandpa. Ghosts wail, “Repent! Repent!” From the space beneath dreams, an ancient crow takes flight. Blood runs into gutters, as the angels descend for the harvest. A young woman, half-naked, half-drunk, can’t stop laughing. “Why is this funny?” her brother screams. “Oh hell,” she gasps. “Why isn’t it?” In Map of the Drowned City award-winning author James Maxey joins with illustrator Kelsie Brumet to bring you tales of the monsters above us, beside us, and within us. Includes the Phobos award winning story "Empire of Dreams and Miracles." Includes the Asimov's Readers' Award winning story "Mere Flesh." Includes "Silent as Dust," and "Clockwork Melting," both reprinted in Best of the Year Collections of fantasy and science fiction.
