Welcome to Stories from Among the Stars, the Science Fiction Anthology series home to bold characters,

daring adventures, and smart, compelling science fiction and fantasy.

Our next season is about to launch, and if you've enjoyed what you've heard of this show so far, we know you'll love this one.

This season, we return with a darkly sweet modern fairy tale, Sun Yi Deans, the Book Eaters.

Truth is found between the stories we're fed and the stories we hunger for.

Out on the Yorkshire Moors lives a secret line of people for

whom books are food and who retain all of a book's content after eating it. To them, spy novels are

a peppery snack. Romance novels are sweet and delicious. Eating a map can help them remember

destinations and children, when they misbehave, are forced and delicious. Eating a map can help them remember destinations, and children, when

they misbehave, are forced to eat dry, musty pages from dictionaries. Devin is part of

the family, an old and reclusive clan of book eaters. Her brothers grow up feasting on

stories of valor and adventure, and Devin, like all other

book eater women, is raised on a carefully curated diet of fairy tales and cautionary stories.

But real life doesn't always come with happy endings, as Devin learns when her son is

born with a rare and darker kind of hunger.

Not for books, but for human minds.

We'll release new episodes every Tuesday and Friday beginning February 24th,

and this season will only be available for a limited time.
