Illusive Worlds

Come gaze into our worlds of imagination!

In this ninth "Sweet, Funny, and Strange"(R) anthology from the multiple-award winning authors of the Bethlehem Writers Group, LLC, we explore everything from faraway galaxies to the vagaries of the human mind.

Our stories include ventures into the supernatural, meeting aliens and witches, experimenting in time travel, and encountering technology that is sometimes benign but at other time menacing. The blurred lines between human and machine, life and death, or illusion and reality have provided our authors more than sufficient inspiration to create myriad visions of science fiction and fantasy to pique your curiosity, spark your sense of humor, sometimes horrify you a bit, and occasionally bring delight.

In addition to tales from BWG's inventive mind, we are excited to bring you six prize-winning stories from our 2025 and 2026 Short Story Award competitions. We know these authors will become some of your favorites --just as they have for us.

So please join us in our illusive worlds. We're very happy to have you along for the ride.
