In the title story, a solitary man's encounter with a ghost challenges his definitions of life and death, while in 'Emma Baxter's Boy, ' a childless woman unexpectedly gives birth to something not human-and always hungry. From alien births to ghost stories to tales of horror and historical suspense, the fifteen selections presented here span more than twenty-five years of superb storytelling by an International Fiction Award-winning writer whose cross-genre approach to suspense should appeal to readers of short stories in general and sf/horror in particular. -- Library Journal Runs the gamut in terms of sub-genres to include Americana historical, western, science fiction, horror, and of course contemporary...The tales are all well written, and in spite of the relative size, each grips the audience who will not be able to guess what comes next...A strong collection. -- Readers Guild
