Synopsis

The short stories in this collection might best be described as slipstream. Defying genre boundaries, they flirt with the hard and soft of science fiction, veer into playful absurdity, or turn darkly macabre. Often drawing inspiration from surrealism, they go to unexpected places. To paraphrase a line from the first story, “They have a high degree of surprisingness.” Collected herein are seventeen stories chosen from a lifetime of writing. A handful are reprints of published stories. Some have won awards. But the large majority are seeing the light of day for the first time.
To those seeking something different, this might be the collection for you.
Approx. 500 pages.

About this title

About the Author

Gary W. Shockley grew up in the Indiana countryside before moving to California by means of Pennsylvania and Oregon (it's a long story). Along the way he learned a thing or two.

He has made a living as software QA tester, software engineer, copy editor, and technical writer. But ever since he was a child, he has written stories. He is now an award-winning writer whose stories have appeared in various magazines and anthologies. Most of what he writes defies genre boundaries and could be called slipstream.

He currently lives in Mountain View, California, with his wife, Lori Ann White, herself an award-winning writer. They have a cat named Manti.

Lori and Manti are currently working on their second novels.
