The team at Apex didn’t stop with just one awesome cover from Sarah Anne Langton, but decided to revamp the three previous volumes of World SF, too, giving the series a more cohesive appearance. The new covers reflect the dynamic quality of the stories that Apex publishes, combining bold colors with a unified format that makes the series instantly recognizable.

Now firmly established as the benchmark anthology series of international speculative fiction, volume 4 of The Apex Book of World SF sees debut editor Mahvesh Murad bring fresh new eyes to her selection of stories. From Spanish steampunk and Italian horror to Nigerian science fiction and subverted Japanese folktales, from love in the time of drones to teenagers at the end of the world, the stories in this volume showcase the best of contemporary speculative fiction, wherever it’s written.
