J.J. Brown's 16 scary short stories uncover faces of death and the meaning of dreams. From scenes of childhood in the mountains, to crises of conscience in New York City, the stories illuminate the beauty and the horror in ordinary lives. Mothers, daughters, scientists and murderers explore the fine line drawn between hopes and dreams. In the story Mouse Chimera a young scientist is locked in the laboratory with the virus-infected chimeric mice she created. A dreaming student searches for love in the bars of the East Village, in the tale Hills of Rabbits. In Underground an anxious commuter tries to guess a victim's identity after a haunting subway incident. A daughter with schizophrenia fights for the right to affection in Mother's Love. A scientist finds her experiments with toxic chemicals contaminate workers around her in Lab after Dark. These realistic characters, and more, face death around them as an inescapable part of their lives. Author J.J. Brown brings the authenticity of a modern science background to her writing.
