Tales of the Wold Newton Universe

Edited by Win Scott Eckert and Christopher Paul Carey
Titan Books, 2013

A collection of Wold Newton-inspired short stories by Farmerphiles, experts, and the Grand Master of SF himself. A real meteorite fell near Wold Newton, Yorkshire, England, on December 13, 1795, and was found to be radioactive, causing genetic mutations in the occupants of a passing coach. Many of their descendants were thus endowed with extremely high intelligence and strength, as well as an exceptional capacity and drive to perform good, or, as the case may be, evil deeds.
