100,000 words of short fiction and novel extracts from a range of top genre authors.

Back in 1997 the original infinity plus website started out on the principle that we'd all benefit if a bunch of authors got together and put stories online for free: readers would get a chance to discover new writers, and those writers might share readers around and sell a few more books; and in the meantime, we'd build an online showcase crammed with excellent reading.

Now an ebook imprint, infinity plus is still going strong. With our first infinities anthology we're returning to those launching principles: here's a bunch of genre authors getting together in an anthology that is free to download, giving readers the chance to sample and discover before -- we hope -- going on to buy our books.

infinities is an anthology; it's a sampler; it's a catalogue for works published by infinity plus and our friends in the writing world. And it's free. We hope you enjoy it.
