Sensorium - after a dragon climbs out of the wishing well in her garden, Amelia discovers a quantum fairyland where things appear as they really are, and the dangers are given their true form. Strange Mechanisms - The Guy with the Hole in His Throat has two roommates. Sometimes they take human form. Sometimes they don't. Then one day he has a third, The Other Guy With the Hole in His Throat, who looks exactly like him. The Further Shore - there's a shack on a beach and you don't want to be outside at night. Hungry things live in night. There are ships out beyond the reef, but hungry things live in the water, too. Song For the Unravelling of the World - when his daughter disappears, Drago can't go to the police. Is she in the walls? In the garbage disposal? In the television static? Enter his world and help him find her before it's too late. For fans of Weird, slipstream, and the fantastic, Bourbon Penn continues to offer unsettling and soul-searing stories from today's talented voices. Turn over a rock and watch what scuttles in the light. Warm a fossilized egg in your hands and see what hatches. Tune the static of cosmic radiation and find what signal hides in its noise.
