Liveryman Derwin Mak publishes New Science Fiction Books-Jesus and Other Stories and XY-Girls and More Stories

12 JANUARY 2026

Derwin Mak is the winner of two Aurora Awards from the Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Association and an Alberta Book Publishing Award. His science fiction and fantasy short stories have been collected in two volumes, Mecha-Jesus and Other Stories and XY-Girls and More Stories, from Brain Lag Books.

Mecha-Jesus and Other Stories:

From distant stars to a Cocoa Beach Hooters, Derwin Mak's short fiction takes readers through tales of mystery, wonder, and horror. Ethnic traditions meld with fantastic visions in these twelve stories about memory fabric, eldritch gods during the Salem witch trials, and of course, Mecha-Jesus, Japan's very own android kami.

Foreword by Liana Kerzner, award-winning comedy writer and co-editor of Wrestling With Gods: Tesseracts Eighteen.

XY-Girls and More Stories:

The ladies of Southern Comfort are the most gorgeous and lively women on any mining colony in the galaxy. But when they start turning up dead and the local police do nothing to protect them, it's time for these girls to take the law, their safety, and their destiny into their own hands.

Why do people see the ghosts of their loved ones on the mysterious asteroids called the Siren Stones? And why is there a girl claiming to be Jesus reborn on one of these rocks?

Featuring the interconnected Siren Stone and XY-Girls stories, this second collection of fiction by award-winning author Derwin Mak brings readers tales of danger, cleverness, acceptance, and more. Jump in and enjoy the ride with a cast of gregarious women, a teenage vampire, ballet dancers, and the all-new story "The Room Where We Hid".

Includes the Aurora Award-winning story "Transubstantiation".

Foreword by Tanya Huff, Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Association Hall of Fame author of Blood Price.
