Seventeen delightfully unexpected stories from Simon R.
Green-including a brand-new adventure of the Droods-take us deep
into the Darkside, embroil us in the Secret Histories, and lead us
into the shadowy places where monsters and demons roam Welcome to
the worlds of Simon R. Green. In this wide-ranging collection, the
New York Times-bestselling urban fantasist opens doors into hidden
places: strange realms bordering our own mundane existence and
prowled by creatures of fancy and nightmare. Here are the strange,
frequently deadly-and sometimes even dead-things that lurk in
garbage-strewn city alleyways and grimy subway stations after
midnight, visible only to the most perceptive human or inhuman eye.
In these tales, Green revisits the ingenious worlds within worlds
that he created for his wildly popular novels. Take a stroll on the
Darkside with a jaded street wizard, an underpaid government
functionary responsible for keeping demons, vamps, and aliens in
line. Enter the hidden recesses of Drood Hall, where the aging
family member who creates powerful weapons that protect humankind
recalls his long and bloody career. Join a squad of no-longer-human
soldiers dispatched to combat the all-consuming jungle on a distant
planet. Visit a house at the intesection of two realities that
serves as a sanctuary from the evil of all worlds. Confront the
unstoppable zombie army of General Kurtz in a brilliant homage to
Apocalypse Now. And whatever you do, never forget that there are
monsters out there. Really. Each story includes a new afterword by
the author. " In] a Simon R. Green book, everything is larger than
life-the heroes extremely heroic, the villains astonishingly
villainous, the choices between good and evil very clear-cut.
Still, if the ultimate outcome is never really in doubt, there's
plenty of entertainment in the journey, and the engagingly-drawn
characters." -SFF.net "If they're making fantasy adventure much
better than this, I don't know about it." -Science Fiction
