grip of an even more insidious evil. Perhaps the Snail: A young
woman is invited back to the trailer of her pop-star idol for a sex
act involving a silver tray, a wine bottle, a pistol, a tropical
snail, and sudden mystic glimpse of the entirety of creation.
Edmund Schubert, editor of Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic
Medicine Show, where three of these stories were first published,
writes in the introduction: "One thing about James: he pushes
boundaries, and he pushes them hard. ... James's stories require a
strong mind and strong stomach. They're freaky weird and hauntingly
honest at the same time."
