In March 2022 we presented the Night Shade Best SF Bundle featuring The Best Science Fiction of the Year series and other fiction anthologies edited by Neil Clarke for Night Shade Books. Since 2016 Clarkesworld magazine editor Neil Clarke has collected the finest short stories, novelettes, and novellas the genre has to offer, from the biggest names in the field to the most exciting new voices. This all-new offer gathered the first five volumes in this acclaimed series, along with five standalone anthologies on topics like lunar and space exploration, aliens among us, and galactic empires. Together these anthologies present more than six thousand pages of great reading in DRM-free .PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats — enough to occupy you for an entire trip to the Moon and back, though to be honest a lunar voyage probably doesn’t leave much time to read.
There were three titles in our Best SF Sampler (retail value $54), including Volume 1 of The Best Science Fiction of the Year (covering the year 2015) and two standalone anthologies: More Human Than Human (about androids, robots, and manufactured humanity) and Not One of Us (about aliens on Earth).
Those who paid more than the threshold (average) price also got our Bonus Collection with seven more ebooks worth an additional $128, including four more volumes in The Best SF of the Year series — The Best Science Fiction of the Year V2 (covering 2016), V3 (2017), V4 (2018), and V5 (2019) — along with three more standalone anthologies: Galactic Empires, The Final Frontier (space exploration), and The Eagle Has Landed (stories of the Moon).
Ten percent of each payment (after gateway fees) went to this Night Shade offer’s pandemic-related charity, Direct Relief. Direct Relief sends protective gear and critical care medications to health workers, with emergency deliveries to medical facilities across the US and to regional response agencies across the world.
