Hopeful dystopias are so much more than an apparent oxymoron: they are in some fundamental way the spearhead of the future - and ironically often a celebration of human spirit by shining a light through the darkness of disaster. In Through the Portal: Stories from a Hopeful Dystopia, award-winning authors of speculative fiction Lynn Hutchinson Lee and Nina Munteanu have gathered a collection that explores strange new terrains and startling social constructs, quiet morphing landscapes, dark and terrifying warnings, lush newly-told folk and fairy tales. These authors show us that now, more than ever, our world urgently needs stories about hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNina Munteanu is a Canadian ecologist and novelist of science fiction and fantasy.
