The 2025 World SF Bundle - Curated by Lavie Tidhar:
Join me for a trip around the world, from China to Nigeria, Luxembourg to the outer reaches of space. Hello – and welcome to the eighth annual World SF bundle! Can you believe we're still here?
Things are definitely looking bleak everywhere you turn, which is why literature matters more than ever. What better way is there to reach across languages and cultures then to experience the stories people tell? The language of science fiction and fantasy is universal, and here I tried to bring together a group of remarkable writers from all corners of the world.

"A wonderful fusion of hard SF and melancholy wisdom"
– Charles E. Gannon, bestselling author of the Terran Republic seriesThe Escapement by Lavie Tidhar
"Comic, tragic, and utterly magnificent."
– Samantha Shannon, author of The Priory of the Orange TreeThe Good Soldier by Nir Yaniv
"In this amiable satire of the gung-ho heroics of military sci-fi, Yaniv (coauthor of The Tel Aviv Dossier) sets a seeming simpleton against an immense empire, and the contest is hardly fair . . . (A)n amusing alternative to the usual run of martial marvels and battle-tested warriors. Military SF fans will enjoy this gentle roasting."
– Publishers WeeklyThe Siege of Burning Grass by Premee Mohamed
"A feat of worldbuilding, moral complexity, and taut, precisely paced storytelling."
– EsquireSinophagia by Xueting C. Ni
"An enriching anthology."
– The New York TimesThe Pleasure of Drowning by Jean Bürlesk
"The Pleasure of Drowning revisits half-familiar childhood stories that take on grotesque proportions, their logic pushed to macabre conclusions."
– Rose Edwards, Luxembourg TimesBreakable Things by Cassandra Khaw
"Khaw (Nothing but Blackened Teeth) packs a gruesome punch with the 23 bite-size horror stories ... the distinctive authorial voice and uncanny atmospherics will surely find some fans."
– Publishers WeeklyJackal, Jackal: Tales of the Dark and Fantastic by Tobi Ogundiran
"Vivid and twisted, ironic and stirring."

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.
