Some of the best Scottish writing comes from the imaginative genres that can be grouped under the heading of 'speculative fiction'. These genres include science fiction, fantasy, horror, magic realism and alternate history. This book showcases work which addresses the nature of Scotland and Scottishness from fresh and unexpected angles.
