Customer Reviews

Not for the faint of heart

There is a type of literature that no longer can fit in either horror nor sci fi. It is called speculative and it tends to be overall rather "out there". It is like eating Mexican food for the first time and just ordering "a little bit of everything". That is what this book gives you is "a little bit of everything"; from a story about homemade bath salts that sends everyone to the emergency room. There is a very clever time travel story, a beautiful love story that turns out to be nothing of the sort. There are no duds in this book and it includes established writers and also gives a platform for new authors. Be forewarned: it is well done but not mainstream in the least.
