Overview

SuperCanucks features eleven stories that explore the usual superhero tropes while shining a spotlight on the unique corners of Canada.

These heroes battle unique Canadian dangers, including government bureaucracy and the overreaching neighbours in the south. Contributors include: Pauline Barnby, Dwain Campbell Matthew D. Del Papa, Matthew Heiti, Casey Lawrence, Melanie Marttila, Premee Mohamed, Christopher O'Halloran, Jim Robb, Niall Spain and Andy W. Taylor.

"" SuperCanucks is a joy from start to finish-a sharp, funny, and heartfelt collection that reimagines resourceful, stubborn, and unmistakably Canadian superheroes. These small-town heroes save the day from both world-ending threats and quiet disasters. Clever, compassionate, and loaded with Canadiana, these stories remind us that saving the world often starts with saving your neighbours. -Stephen Kotowych, Aurora Award-winning editor of Year's Best Canadian Fantasy and Science Fiction SuperCanucks is an anthology that paints in all the colours, showing us many ways to be a hero. This is a deeply Canadian group of stories by some of our best short fiction writers. I enjoyed it immensely. -Kate Heartfield, Aurora-award winning author of The Embroidered Book
