We are soooo excited about our forthcoming novel, Dendera, by Yuya Sato. We have a great cover, a great blurb, and it's a great and harrowing story about a group of elderly women who had been sent to their deaths and who instead made a life for themselves, only to be confronted by a hungry bear with a supernatural intellect.

Dendera was quite famous in Japan. In fact, it was made into a feature film in 2012:



You may not recognize the actors, but imagine Susan Sarandon and Meryl Streep running around in the snow, and you'll have a sense of the popularity and reputation of the players.

Which brings us to our contest question: what is your favorite film adaptation of a science fiction or fantasy novel? Just write us a little essay (or poem!) in the comments and you may be one of our lucky, and skilled, winners. Our four favorite answers will get a free copy of Dendera. We ship anywhere, so don't be afraid to play even if you're outside the US. We also read Japanese, Spanish, Greek, German, and Chinese, so give it a whirl! We'll announce the winners around noon on Friday the 23rd, so get your little essays in!
