Coe (D.B. Jackson)) and Sarah J. Sover!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its best, speculative fiction does more than entertain. It challenges our assumptions — be they political, social, theological, sexual, or cultural — and subverts our expectations. It introduces us to worlds and perspectives, while also holding up an imperfect mirror to our own world that forces us to question, doubt and, ultimately, consider the human experience in a new way. And it makes us wonder whether our perceptions of a work reflect our own mindset or the creative intent of the author. Was Star Wars intentionally antifascist? Was X-Men intentionally centered around civil rights?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this anthology, we pull back the curtain, allowing the reader to glimpse the inner workings of the author’s mind. By pairing each story with an author’s note describing their personal connection with the subversive elements within their story, we’re saying, “Yes, we meant to do that.” Some believe writers should leave social commentary to pundits and politicians. Disruptive Intent responds to this with a great big, albeit respectful, middle finger. At the same time, these stories aren’t parables, nor are they polemics. They’re pure Falstaff—challenging the status quo in the entertaining, pulp-tastic, character-driven way that has earned us the moniker the Misfits of Fiction. Our stories are disruptive, but they’re also fun, twisty, and guaranteed to keep you turning the page long into the night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith stories by: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJonathan Maberry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaurice Broaddus\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJody Lynn Nye\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGini Koch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJames R.
