Zombies spar with humans for dominance of a post-apocalyptic Manhattan in the Stoker-nominated "A Plague on Both Your Houses." The King returns to prove that rock 'n' roll will never die in "The Elvis Syndrome." And a dying boy is the catalyst for a deal with a decidedly different devil in "Making Peace with the Leader." These and ten more nightmarish tales form a bizarre baker's dozen in Scott Edelman's acclaimed horror collection.
"Like some creature out of Star Trek, Scott Edelman projects a zone of distortion that elevates all existence within its influence to the realm of the surrreal." --Adam-Troy Castro, from his introduction
"Scott's delight in metafictional excursions, his blend of caustic humor with unstinting empathy, and his willingness to face all terrors unflinchingly--these traits constitute a unique voice in the field. If, as Scott avers in his Afterword, he can't get used to the notion that perhaps 'somebody up there likes me, ' he's surely in trouble now, for this volume will earn him the admiration of thousands of mere mortals as well as the blessings of those gods." --Paul Di Filippo
"Scott Edelman's stories are utterly uncompromising, bleak, furious, penetrating, overflowing by turns, they reconstruct and re-enact familiar tropes in a fashion never less than astonishing and original. A major writer in the making." --Barry Malzberg
"Edelman has a truly, deliciously twisted imagination. Buy it, read it. It'll keep you up most of the night, but that's what horror is for, isn't it?" --Mary A. Turzillo
