Awkward Robots Anthology: The Violet Volume

The students from Clarion 2012 (a.k.a. “The Awkward Robots”) have pulled up a collection of stories and poems fit for a uniquely challenging year.

In the years since they left San Diego, the Awkward Robots have amassed publications in Lightspeed, Asimov’s, The New Yorker, Strange Horizons, Granta, The Los Angeles Review of Books, Nightmare, and Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy.

This volume completes the "Rainbow Cycle," our set of seven annual compilations. All previous volumes continue to be available, and all proceeds will be donated to the Clarion Foundation. We send our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported us and this project over the years!
