Congratulations to our faculty member Bill Gillard on publishing his latest book! 🥳🤓

The Spark of Modernism: Twenty Speculative Stories and Writings That Defined an Era, 1886–1939 is available NOW for purchase. You can get your own copy at the link below.

Want More? Check out this review of Bill's Book: “A wonderful, indeed sense-of-wonder-full, collection of classic speculative fiction: some famous pieces, some less well known today, but all brilliantly readable and illuminating. There’s not a dud in the whole. Not only is this anthology a delight to read, it also establishes a fascinating and original throughline into Modernism as such, reframing how we think about that movement. Highly recommended.”

— Adam Roberts, author of The History of Science Fiction
