Seemingly nonsensical, it stuck in our minds, and turned into a group project that would lead to an anthology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe brought the idea to a crowd-funding site, which interested enough people to provide the seed funding to turn this anthology into reality. We took that springboard, and gave eighteen talented authors the task of writing a great story with only one guideline: the story had to include the phrase \"Release the Virgins.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe results are surprisingly varied and creative: science fiction, fantasy, outright comedy, serious imaginings... in this anthology, you'll find Manhattan gangsters, sad superheroes, marathon-running aliens, teenage Cthulhu worshippers, ghost dinosaurs, computer hackers, and even a unicorn or two. And we think you'll agree: it's a good thing that phrase stuck in our minds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing stories by: Nebula, Hugo, and Stoker Award-winner David Gerrold; Hugo Award-winners Allen M.
