And visionary author and editor Lawrence Watt-Evans has brought together twenty-four unforgettable original stories of Newer York—the city that New York might one day become, as well as the secret worlds that may already exist within the skyscrapers, train trunnels, back alleys, busy streets, and even such seeming relics of a more pastoral age as Central Park.

From invasions by aliens and long-forgotten gods to city survivors and babies on the fast track... from a bag lady's bounty to urban meltdown—how can even Newer York encompass it all? Find out for yourself as you journey to the heart of the city no tourist will ever see—
