Book Description
Only in the presence of light is the depth of the shadows revealed. In this anthology, both extremes are intimately explored. From the macabre to the wonderous, No Longer Dreams offers rich fare from both established writers in the field and talents newly discovered.
Learn what it is to become more than you were destined to be in John C. Wright's The Kindred. Explore the mind-boggling concept of a Jewish vampiress in Darrell Schweitzer's Kvetchula. Discover that monsters can appear quite normal in both James Chamber's Law of the Kuzzi and Tee Morris's Reality Check. Feel the chill invade your blood as you come to suspect the truth of Mike McPhail's sci-fi thriller, Chimera.
Across new worlds and old, we find humanity and horrors both in the most unsuspected places, each masterfully portrayed in this wonderful new collection.
