Imagine that you are trapped in a grey area, neither here nor
there, in-between time, space, colours, lives. The vivid stories in
Grey Area: 13 Ghost Stories bring this scenario to life. Thirteen
strong authors show us what it is like to be in-between in this
contemporary, varied, spooky and often touching collection.
Captain Luta Paixon of the far trader Tane Ikai needs to know why
she looks like a woman in her thirties-even though she's actually
eighty-four. She isn't the only one desperate for that information.
The explanation might lie with her geneticist mother, who
disappeared over sixty years ago, but even if her mother is still
alive, it's proving to be no small task to track her down in the
vast, wormhole-ridden expanse of Nearspace. With the ruthless
PrimeCorp bent on obtaining Luta's DNA at any cost, her
ninety-year-old husband asking for one last favor, and her
estranged daughter locking horns with her at every turn, Luta's
search for answers will take her to the furthest reaches of
space-and deep inside her own heart.
The fourteen stories in Undercurrents ply the literary oceans of
time and space, possibility and imagination. And while you may find
familiar themes in these pages-love, change, greed,
spirituality-you will discover that they take on a new perspective
when viewed through the lens of the speculative. Inside are stories
that ripple and swell with the unusual: fiddle-playing ghosts,
malevolent cats, urbane vampires, and ordinary folks who have
drifted into the realms of the extraordinary. Set your oars in
these unusual waters and see for yourself what swirls in the
undercurrents.
