THE MELT TRILOGY are novels of speculative science fiction with an eco-fiction emphasis, delving into the relationship of humans to the Earth. K.E. Lanning writes in a wry, allegorical style, challenging readers to explore, from the safety of their reading chair, what might occur if “The Melt” really happened on Earth . . . A Spider Sat Beside Her, The Sting of the Bee, and Listen to the Birds [2019] complete the trilogy.
What if the ice caps melted . . . in one human lifespan?
The Earth warmed. The ice caps melted and the oceans crept onto the land like a cat upon its prey. Storms swept tides farther inland, broke down the low-lying coastal towns, and washed them away. Erosion sculpted the coastlines into a new world.
