""An impressive collection...with a surprising number of pieces that feel just prescient enough to worry about."" -Rebecca E. Treasure, author and Managing Editor of Apex Magazine

Limelight is a collection of over twenty high-concept dark science fiction tales from near and far futures.

The title novelette-about a young woman brought back from near death by experimental tech, only to find her parents had her altered before she woke-anchors this collection which features five new exclusive stories alongside popular past works, including:

""Patchwork Girls"" ""Hush, Little Sister"" ""Retirement Party"" ""Rent-A-BabyTM: Content Without Commitment ""Better Self"" ""Please Select Your Issue"" ""(Un)censored"" ""Limelight"" ""We Maintain the Moons"" ""Something in the Air"" ""To Replace a Broken Heart"" ""The Medium's Assistant"" ""Space for One"" ""A Ring Around"" ""The Gathering"" ""Rain Days in Biodome Three"" ""The Bee Bearer"" ""Transference"" ""Unfurl"" ""The Rift Between Us"" ""Crosswords and Coffee"" ""Sleep Well, My Prince""

Lyndsey's work explores the bright potential and the dark reality of our near and far futures through the lenses of connection and loneliness, love and heartbreak, autonomy and exploitation, desire and greed, wonder and despair. If you've ever imagined alternate futures, craved answers to the mysteries of the universe, or feared what might be lurking just beyond our reach, then you need this collection.
