ABOUT THE BOOK

From Old Hawai'i to the Vietnam War to pre-Aztec Mexico, this collection of Alan Brennert’s finest stories is a terrific mix of fantasy, horror, and science fiction, as varied as Brennert’s own career. From the poignant, deeply emotive tale of a woman who fancies herself “Queen of the Magic Kingdom” to the horrific afterlife an American soldier encounters in “Ma Qui” . . . from the quantum phantoms that haunt a young musical prodigy in “Echoes” to a future in which an innocent man is tormented by society’s last serial killer in “The White City” . . . these thirteen tales touch the heart—and sometimes chill the soul.
