By: Paul Dixon

Award-winning Speculative Fiction from the author of Carpathians . A collection of thirteen stories, from hard science fiction to magic realism, with a dash of weirdness and a bit of humor thrown in as well.

Winner of the Parsec speculative fiction contest. Perchance to Wake: A reflection on our collective desire as humans to cheat death. Habitat for Inhumanity: Vampires! Werewolves! Murder! And a disgruntled police lieutenant trying to make sense of it all. Sibling Rivalry: A fantasy tale about the children of a sorceress, with a dark twist. Return to Moreau: A transhumanist novella set in not-so-very-far future Madagascar. One Let Go: A semi-autobiographical piece about the journey from childhood to adulthood, with a very magical fish.
