In The Spaces Between Anthology A project of Blueberry Lane Books (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (April 2016). We provide the following information as an archive. About Theme: Science Fiction Mysteries, a mix of two genres. Equal parts science fiction and mystery exemplified by Nebula-nominated tales by Jack McDevitt and Stanley Schmidt, and Fantasy & Science Fiction author Ken Altabef. We’re looking for classic-style, timeless work, though of course, not cliche. For a general idea of what kind of writing we prefer, read our previous anthologies Drastic Measures and Wash the Spider Out.
