In this collection of 22 stories, John DeChancie shows his prowess at the art of short fiction. His novels have garnered acclaim, but his short fiction has never really had a showcase. This is it. In these stories, DeChancie ranges the dimensions of space as well as the dark reaches of the human mind. From aliens to alienation, from elves to Elvis, from the far end of Sunset Boulevard to a distant planet in the balance, these stories rove at will. In the twilight we hear far cries from exotic lands, strange worlds, and other beings. These stories can be science fiction, fantasy, horror, or weird tales. All are entertaining first, and representatives of their genre second. One or two might even be considered mainstream. You decide. Climb aboard. We think you will be glad you went along for the ride.
