Even when rooted in the routine tragedies of daily life (death of a parent, senility, midlife crisis), these stories clearly view the common through eyes trained to see the fantastic. Some authors bring back favorite settings and characters, like Kage Baker in his tale of scavenging Company time-travelers, "A Night on the Barbary Coast." Others tell new tales in familiar voices, such as Andy Duncan's folkloric fantasy, "The Haw River Trolley," or George Zebrowski's character study of a time exile, "Takes You Back." Michael Bishop pays homage to Lucius Shepard in "The Door Gunner," a story of na‹ve Americans in Vietnam finding how little they know about death and life. In "After Ildiko," Shepard himself focuses on not-so-innocent Americans bringing their own darkness abroad on a barge trip into the Guatemalan jungle. . Making prejudice against "f
The wide range in style, tone, and content in these tales provides genre fans with a diverse spectrum of short fiction.. Andy Duncan combines literary style with southern heritage in a strange tale of courtship on a ghost trolley car. The result is an anthology of stories ranging from fantasy, science fiction, mystery, and horror to genres that are often a combination of all four.

James Patrick Kelly paints a world where people are regulated, even in their ability to become parents, and there is no place for dissenting views. Warren Rochelle portrays a struggle between magical and normal humans. George Zebrowski questions how to reclaim one's life when thrust two and a half years into the past
