the memory plague and other stories

Travel back to the beginning of our solar system, to the proto-Earth, to a battle for the future of humanity. Step into an alien mind as it struggles to understand why it has been abandoned on a dying planet. Dine on catastrophe cuisine while the tides of war threaten to engulf the world. Delve into the claustrophobic warrens of a dystopian wet-market, where a person’s worth is less than the sum of their parts. Often dark, sometimes darkly humorous, but always imaginative and deeply moving, these stories will take you to the edges of time and space and beyond.

Featuring alien artifacts, curious trans-dimensional mementoes, magical carousel horses, and more, this collection of twenty-four speculative short stories brings together the best of D. Thomas Minton’s explorations of reality, the universe, and what it means to be human.
