Edited by Harvey Stanbrough. This is an eclectic collection of twelve short stories that combine to form a pleasing if occasionally troubling mixture. Here you will find professional and amateur detectives, strung-out criminals and a kindly neighborhood grandmother, a moonlighting real estate agent, absurdity, quiet terror and a great deal more. There are twists galore. You'll visit past-Earth, a country preacher, a parish priest, a space station under seige and a troubling distant future dystopia. At times you'll laugh out loud, and at times you'll have to stop reading to let your heart calm down. Enjoy.
