Product Description
by Paul Di Filippo (Author)
This story collection "showcases that lighter side of Paul Di Filippo . . . with some memorable moments of brilliant wit and storytelling" (Infinity Plus).
With twenty tales, a bold lack of restraint, and amazing stylistic diversity, Di Filippo makes strange bedfellows of a range of characters--from Jayne Mansfield to Pythagoras to Disney "imagineers" to the Virgin Mary--fit together inside a bountiful collection of surprises, humor, and the very, very strange. William Gibson has identified his writing as "spooky, haunting, and hilarious," and after you absorb all the shocks, you will inevitably agree.Author Biography
