The 2024 World SF Bundle - Curated by Lavie Tidhar:

It's hard to believe this is the seventh – seventh! – World SF bundle I've had the privilege to put together. It's been a trip, collecting novels and stories from around the world, both here with StoryBundle and with the early Apex Book of World SF anthologies and the more recent Best of World SF hardbacks from Head of Zeus. It's a constant joy to see how much more international the science fiction and fantasy fields become year after year, more accessible, more diverse and more interesting.

I hope you enjoy this year's crop, and find something you like in the selection. Remember that the bundles not only support the authors and their publishers directly, but also our partner charity. At a time when the world seems ever more strained and polarised, literature joins us together, and speculative fiction offers us that rarest of things, hope. So dive in, and I hope you enjoy these stories!

SELECTED REVIEWS

The Ten Percent Thief by Lavanya Lakshminarayan

"Lavanya Lakshminarayan breathes new life into dystopia"

– The Washington Post

The Hidden Legion by Snorri Kristjansson

"The blend of The Dirty Dozen and Ray Harryhausen we didn't know we needed."

– The Financial Times

Nordic Visions by Margrét Helgadóttir

"Reading it gave me one of the experiences I hope for when reading an anthology: the sense of a strong voice I haven't encountered before."

– Locus Magazine

An Occupation of Angels by Lavie Tidhar

"Fast moving, powerfully phantasmagoric fantasy"

– Adam Roberts

Under Pressure by Fabio Fernandes

"Here's such a rich confection of our favourite persons and places, from Jules Verne's volcano in Iceland and the subterranean Vril race to Wells's Martian invaders and even scheming Moriarty – along with revelations about reality and about more-than-reality (such as The House, and The Existing). It's stimulating, tremendous stuff."

– Ian Watson, author of the Screen Story for Steven Spielberg’s A.I. Artificial Intelligence

Moscow But Dreaming by Ekaterina Sedia

"Moscow But Dreaming showcases the talent that Sedia has at unveiling darkness. True horror, she writes, is found not only in the worlds in our head or the world we walk through, but in their seamless amalgamation. After the book is closed, there remains an uneasy message about how our realities—the past, the personal, the political—can easily shift at the flick of a light switch or the collapse of a wall. Once that happens, the only choice left is how to navigate that new reality—even if the way seems like madness."

– Tor.com

Danged Black Thing by Eugen Bacon

"With poetic prose, an eclectic range of subgenres, and affecting observations on Blackness and womanhood, this collection showcases Bacon at the top of her game."

– Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

Of Charms, Ghosts and Grievances by Aliette de Bodard

"A darkly delicious romp full of ghosts, murder, dragons, and romance, with a couple that just keeps getting better and better as they push each other to new limits."

– Stephanie Burgis, author of Snowspelled and Scales and Sensibility

Imago Mortis by Samuel Marolla

"Samuel Marolla has done a great job of creating some dark imagery that will stick with you when you are done reading. Reading this book was like looking at a work of art"

– HORROR ADDICTS

Zero DRM. There's no DRM on any of our books. None. Why? For one, we don't believe DRM actually stops people from sharing what they want to share. Second, and most importantly, we don't believe we should be treating our customers as criminals. So go ahead and put these on your tablets, Kindles and smartphones, but if a friend wants to read the bundle, please have them buy one for themselves. With pay-what-you-want, we believe there's a price for everyone. Or better yet, buy one for them as a gift. Help support indie authors!

Support nonprofits. Best of all, you can also give a portion of the proceeds from each bundle to charity. To learn more about these charities and those they help, click the "Learn More" link next the charities when you purchase.

Easy delivery. It's super convenient to get these ebooks onto your reader of choice—just download and sync. Better yet, if you have a Kindle or Kindle-enabled tablet or smartphone, we can send the books directly to your device. No computer required.
