Nearly twenty original stories by award-winning, New York Times bestselling author Greg Cox.

Written over the course of forty years, these offbeat and imaginative tales range from humor to horror, from sword-and-sorcery to space opera, from the foggy streets of gaslit London to the bigfoot-haunted wilderness of the Weird West, from lost kingdoms to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, with assorted colorful side trips and detours in-between.

A true-crime writer resorts to time-travel to catch a killer. A Yuletide exorcism leads to harrowing reindeer games. A grade-school kid finds a numerical menace lurking in his homework. An enterprising crew of interstellar grifters cope with some very unhappy customers. And a cursed were-salmon swims upstream to his destiny...

These and other curious tales can all be found, together at last, in Cox’s first-ever short story collection.
