Overview

A desperate future where humanity lives in the ruins of old buildings, avoiding the streets haunted by predatory cars who hunt for sport. Off-duty time travellers stop Viking invasions that interrupt a well-earned night out. A clowder of cats gathers around a mysterious fire to tell stories of what might be, and teenage friends turned bitter rivals compete in a race that sends giant mecha sprinting across a frost-bound colony. A cosplayer turns superhero when aliens invade. A cop makes an ill-advised deal with the devil, and monster hunters looking to make their mark interrupt a demonic wedding. Peter M. Ball returns with his fourth short story collection, bringing together 20 science fiction, fantasy, and horror tales that are often dark, always unexpected, and sure to please long-time fans and new readers alike.
