An alien who can paint on the surface of a soap bubble. A woman who can See the future. A corporate raider who faxes himself to a takeover, and a man with fear so great it turns back time. These are a few of the beings who inhabit Dean Whitlock's stories. The action ranges from back roads to teeming cities to a torture chamber, while the moods swing from serious to loving to absurd - each of the ten stories in this collection is unique, a tale born of a real-world experience, reshaped by its characters and Whitlock's questing imagination. Nine of the stories have appeared before, in Asimov's Science Fiction, Fantasy & Science Fiction, and Aboriginal SF, but the tenth is new to print, an absurdist satire guaranteed to entertain many, irritate some, and enrage a few. One thing you can be sure of, every one of these stories will stir your emotions. Love them or hate them, you won't be bored.
