James Aquilone was raised on Saturday morning cartoons, comic books, sitcoms, and Cap'n Crunch. Amid the Cold War, he dreamed of being a jet fighter pilot but decided against the military life after realizing it would require him to wake up early. He had further illusions of being a stand-up comedian, until a traumatic experience on stage forced him to seek a college education. Brief stints as an alternative rock singer/guitarist and child model also proved unsuccessful. Today he battles a severe chess addiction while trying to write and edit in the speculative fiction game.
He is the founder of Monstrous Books, and has edited the bestselling anthlogies CLASSIC MONSTERS UNLEASHED, KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER - 50TH ANNIVERSARY and SHAKESPEARE UNLEASHED.

Kary English grew up in the snowy Midwest where she avoided siblings and frostbite by reading book after book in a warm corner behind a recliner chair. She blames her one and only high school detention on Douglas Adams, whose Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy caused her to laugh out loud while reading it behind her geometry textbook.
Today, Kary still spends most of her time with her head in the clouds and her nose in a book. To the great relief of her parents, she seems to be making a living at it. Her fiction includes several short stories, and a forthcoming fantasy saga about a little girl and an orange kitten.
Kary is a Writers of the Future winner whose fiction has appeared in Grantville Gazette's Universe Annex, Galaxy's Edge, Writers of the Future, Vol. 31, Undercurrents, and Daily Science Fiction. Her stories have been nominated for the Hugo and Campbell awards, and long-listed for the Bram Stoker Award.

Tina Gower grew up in a small community in Northern California that proudly boasts of having more cows than people. She raised guide dogs for the blind, is dyslexic, and can shoot a gun or bow and miraculously never hit the target (which at some point becomes a statistical improbability). Tina has volunteered for the American Red Cross on the Disaster Mental Health team and currently works as a school psychologist and counselor at local schools. Tina also won the Daphne du Maurier Award for Mystery and Suspense (paranormal category), and was nominated for the Romance Writers of America Golden Heart writing under another pen name. She has professionally published several short stories in a variety of magazines. Tina is represented by Rebecca Strauss at DeFiore and Company.
Leena Likitalo hails from Finland, the land of endless summer days and long, dark winter nights. She lives with her husband on an island at the outskirts of Helsinki, the capital. But regardless of her remote location, stories find their way to her and demand to be told.
While growing up, Leena struggled to learn foreign languages. At sixteen, her father urged her to start reading in English, and thus she spent the next summer wading through his collection of fantasy and science fiction novels. She has fond memories of her "teachers": J.R.R. Tolkien, Robert Jordan, Roger Zelazny, and Vernor Vinge.
Leena breaks computer games for a living. When she's not working, she writes obsessively. And when she's not writing, she can be found at the stables riding horses and playing polocrosse.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2015This anthology is one of the best I've ever read, in terms of how many of the stories I really enjoyed. There was only one story that I didn't really like... the rest were very good. In fact, I'm surprised none of these were nominated in their respective years for Hugo awards.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2015These were very entertaining, professional stories. They were well-done and interesting. I especially like "I Arachnobot" by Brian Trent and "The Nechronomator" by Brad R. Torgersen. Of course C.L. Moore's story "Happily Ever After" was great. I recommend this anthology of very readable stories.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2015As with most anthologies, there were some good and some bad stories in here. I bought it for the Niven and the Lackey and was impressed by the story by Kress as well as others. If anyone is looking for the next big author, it is a good bet that they can be found in here. Frankly, I only would have changed the ratio of heavier stories to lighter stories. As good as they were, the collection needed a bit more humor and fun to balance out the sociological depths and dark futures that so many sci fi and fantasy authors gravitate to.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2015The conglomeration of stories is wonderful! If you enjoy Sci-Fi, and enjoy quick blurbs of stories mixed with short stories, you will truly enjoy this quick read!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2015A group of interesting stories. I don't read much short fiction, haven't read the magazines for at least 30+ years, so this was something new...and of course most of the authors were new to me.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2015I love short stories and this book is filled with great ones! And it introduces the reader to some authors that are up and comers.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2016SciFi shorts at their best. A very good mix of space stories. Some are a bit beyond my comprehension but the action and fun is still just as great.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2015Not typical science fiction. As the name Edge implies it is on the edge and you should be ready for some stories that appear to be written just to write something unconventional.
