Elevator to Eternity: An agglomeration of warped tales

By Greg Guerin

"Guerin's protagonists are idiosyncratic and compelling . . . This collection bespeaks an author's unconstrained imaginativeness."-Aurealis

A collection of thirteen pulp-inspired, speculative short stories by Greg Guerin, including ten originally published in Aurealis, Borderlands, Aphelion-webzine, Planetmag and Gateway as well as three previously unpublished stories.Over 80,000 words of mind-bending science fiction, fantasy and horror packed with imagination and shocking twists, spanning the present to the end of time through characters ranging from humans to alien organisms the size of planets.

The desperate protagonists of these stories find themselves in the most unusual of circumstances:

A deformed baby who must heal a tear in time itself...

A man who witnesses millions of years of evolution compressed into hours from within an observation complex on reconstructed Earth...

A boy who returns from a place between life and death to haunt the township of Lenswood...

A failed academic who has leeches inside his brain, feeding on non-social neurotransmitters...

A brain-dead ex-particle physicist living in a nursing home on a hellish world who is obsessed with tending a patch of sweet peas...

This collection from Greg Guerin contains an assortment of post-apocalyptic, psychological and Universe-altering science fiction, with some horror and high fantasy thrown in, and explores the extremes of imagined existences.
