Aliens, creatures, time travel, and alternate dimensions mix with mystery and fantasy in this collection of fourteen tales by a dinosaur of a writer who still prefers old-style SF and fantasy that is carefully crafted, contains a twist or two, and provides satisfaction to the reader. For the hectic modern life, a short story is the ideal speculative fiction nibble between getting the kids serviced and dropping the car off at the day-care.
60,000 words of genre guilty pleasure. Stories include:
Edges of Memory
A man kills and forgets—utterly—that his victims ever existed; a nurse investigates and uncovers a decades-long secret. Old forces regroup to make sure the secret remains a secret.
Crawl Ice
A couple is stranded in their Colorado cottage by an antagonized creature that they can't see, and it's getting bolder and smarter as the hours go by.
The Blue Smoke Test
A scientist creates a time machine and precipitates the Ultimate Disaster. No, not that disaster. The ultimate disaster!
The Great Aribo
Two boys enter a county fair and encounter the world's greatest juggler, who holds a secret that's both wonderful and razor-edged.
