New and uncollected stories by Bram Stoker Award Winner John Shirley. From the Introduction by Richard Christian Matheson: "In the brooding precincts of dark fiction, Byronic gangster John Shirley's writing is distinguished by swans and knives of style; divine menace. Twenty of his finest stories are gathered in this volume of poetic distress calls and whether horror, artful heresy, or a cosmos seeping bleak karma, Shirley's visions autopsy and awaken. Amid such torrents, the many addicted to his brilliance savor Shirley's work as sodium-pentothal and grace, ground zero of the real deal." Cover art by Luke Spooner.
