Stories of joy, music, and community.
Amphibian Press welcomes you to stand up with us as we support Club Q through storytelling.
On November 19, 2022, an LGBT community hub and nightclub called Club Q in Colorado Springs was attacked. Five beautiful, vibrant people were lost. Someone silenced the music everyone in the club had come to celebrate with gunfire.
We came together with a dozen authors from around the world to share a diverse array of characters and worlds: a found-family in the post-apocalypse; excited teen couples attending a hopepunk concert; the otherworldly experience of base-heavy queer club; a tender proposal almost-spoiled by hijinks; and a sci-fi medic trying to remember how to trust after a decade on the run. These are stories of queer joy, filled with gender and culture-diverse characters, found family, community solidarity, love, comfort and hope.
We won't let the music be silenced.
All proceeds will be donated to the Club Q community via Colorado Healing Fund.

Transform the World: fourteen sci-fi writers save the planet (Writers Save the World)
Income inequality is worse than it was in the Roaring Twenties. Corporations are moving fast and breaking things, and the social contract seems to be falling apart, aided by social media disruption and division on steroids.
There has to be a better way.
We asked fourteen sci-fi writers to come up with innovative ways the world could work better. Universal basic income, smaller communities, AI voting, and learning to live in harmony with nature are just a few of the ideas explored inside these pages. So buckle up and settle in for a look at the world of the future.
The world’s not going to transform itself.
Playing With A Full Deck: Stories of Hope In Hard Times
Sometimes life deals a bad hand. But it’s all about how you play the cards.
Solidarity in the face of oppression. Songs in the dark. Finding hope in spite of the odds. Thirteen stories set in the dystopian universe of the Aces High, Jokers Wild series keep fighting the good fight in the darkest of times. Characters from the pens of O.E. Tearman, Michael G. Williams, Alex Silver and their colleagues haven’t been dealt good cards in life. But in these pages, they show us how to play the game.
Maybe, they can even show us how to win.

Welcome to the Future!
The future is one of our making and our writers are up to the task. In these pages you will encounter many wondrous stories on bio terrorism, weaponized dogs, genetically engineered humans, dystopian worlds and introspective androids. This is just to name a few situations, of course; the future is very unpredictable—and sometimes very frightening. On the road up ahead are worlds characterized by lawlessness, dominating corporations, and governments unwilling to protect basic human rights. You better prepare yourself, because it may take all of your resources and creativity just to survive.
Punk is the word; whether it is cyberpunk, post-cyberpunk, biopunk or solarpunk, you will
discover what it means to be human in a changing world.

Dark Horizons: A Collection of Near-Future, Dystopian, and Cyberpunk Sci-fi: multi author 7 book box set
When there's nothing but darkness on the horizon you have one choice: fight or fall. These incredible authors delve into five all-too-possible futures.
It is difficult to picture a world that's as bright and burning as our parents or theirs could--not when the world is literally burning. When we set out on the journey that became Dark Horizons, we wanted to paint a picture of our very possible futures--and the strength and wits it will take to counter them.
Dive into cyberpunk dystopias, alien conspiracies, and grim, planetary struggles in these seven tales. And maybe, together, we can fight our way to a brighter future, both on--and off--the page.
