In Kharkiv, mysterious eyes sprout from the walls of buildings as the Russian invasion of Ukraine intensifies. A cynical spacefarer on a paradox-chasing mission confronts an ancient star-and the limits of human understanding-while his sentient navigator may know more than it's letting on. A man mistakenly receives a letter meant for another drawing him into the world of a lost tribe who believe writing itself is a sin against God. In Raghast, a civilization of rats grinds to a standstill every three months as the breeding instinct throws them into chaos. A solution exists, but it is almost too terrible to consider. A biotech visionary's obsession with progress begins to blur the line between life and machine, leading him down paths unknown. A retired Apartheid cop hunts feral cats on the scoria slopes of Marion Island, haunted by his past and future-and then by something else... Speculative, weird, and layered with insights into the strangeness of existence, Aberrants is a collection of eleven unforgettable stories.
