The Greeks coined the word 'abaculus' for the small pieces of glass used to create complex mosaic murals. Peopled with mythical beasts and outsized heroes, a fantastic pantheon of gods, and the humans who dared challenge them, these ancient murals embody the essence of imagination, built piece by tiny piece. In its first anthology, Leucrota Press brings you short stories from an international cast of new and experienced authors who exemplify the best of contemporary science fiction, fantasy, horror, and graphic writing. Self-contained gems of storytelling craft, each story also fits in to a larger picture of how the universe could, or might just, be. The first of many installments to come, Abaculus 2007 will challenge the reader with its vision as it entertains through a vivid sense of possibility.
