Creator: Edited by Alana Joli Abbott and Addie J. KingCategory: AnthologyAge Range: AdultVibes: Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Prophecies, Demons, Vampires, Older Protagonists, LGBTQ+, chosen one In Short: With nineteen stories from diverse authors, this anthology features older heroes saving the day.What's It About: Why is saving the world always up to heroes without fully developed prefrontal cortexes? The authors featured in Never Too Old to Save the World explore what might happen if the chosen one trope applied to adults—most of whom are already too old, or at least too tired, for this nonsense. The responses of those older characters flips some of the chosen one tropes on their heads and shows how sometimes there are ways other than just slaying the demons to save the world. Co-edited by Alana Joli Abbott and Addie J. King, the anthology features stories by Guadalupe Garcia McCall, J.D. Blackrose, Lucy A. Snyder, Jim C. Hines, Vaseem Khan, LaShawn Wanak, Maurice Broaddus, and many more.
