Fourteen international authors come together in "It's Come to Our

Attention," from Third Flatiron Anthologies. Their stories scratch

below the surface to unearth a world of hidden gems:

Visit a landfill to hear some real trash talk. Tag along with an alien

agent here to save the earth from his hideout in the insane

asylum. Bust a conspiracy to change the climate via mind control. Form

an unhealthy attachment to your radio. Go down to the basement even

though we told you not to. Decide on the pros and cons of

immortality. Tell a librarian she would look beautiful without her

glasses. Find out what's at the bottom of the wishing well (besides

coins). Indulge in a little illegal but highly satisfying genetic

tinkering. Acknowledge the debt we all owe to French culture.
