About this ebook
The tales range from prisoners executed with a high-tech twist, to the ravages of empathy, to an uncooperative parrot, to a shapeshifter’s carnal memoirs, to a man who can’t stop talking, to a murderer devoured by ice, to a baby photographer who ruins lives, to a dog that reads minds.
As in his previous collections, SCARS And Other Distinguishing Marks and DYSTOPIA, Matheson’s distilled style is fierce and hypnotic.
There are seventeen illustrations to accompany many of the short stories, all of them originals created by Harry O. Morris specifically for this collection.
The collection includes introductions from John Shirley and Chet Williamson, as well as afterwords from Harry O. Morris and R.C. Matheson.
