Synopsis

An anthology with short stories which each presents a "dangerous vision" (although I would call them "visions for thought").
Review

These thirty-two stories are all excellent in their own ways, but some stand out as superbly excellent. I've transcribed these and put them on my Short Stories page. They are Shall the Dust Praise Thee?, Evensong, The Malley System, Carcinoma Angels, and A Toy For Juliette. These are teasers, and I believe no further review is necessary. Go buy this book.
