The stories in this volume range from contemporary drama to science fiction to the macabre, and each carries a strong sense of place—wherever that place happens to be, and sometimes a sense of place is a state of mind.
“In this rich treasure of weird stories you can smell the swampy dirt and feel the mystical humidity of broken, disturbed feelings in these tiny, very human characters.”
~ Steve Schalchlin, songwriter/composer of The Last Session, The Big Voice: God or Merman? and New World Waking.
