This diverse collection of speculative short stories ranges from humorous satires to dystopian science fiction, from magic realism to pulpy urban fantasy - all tied together in their tales of humanity's struggle against oppression. The Positivity Oracle - It's the latest fad and it's about to drive Zed over the edge, in this satirical comedy about a man completely at odds with the insane society he lives in. The Girl in the Garden - Feeling helpless in an dystopian world ruled by corruption, a man befriends a mysterious woman whose secret is revolutionary and explosive enough to topple many in the privileged class - assuming anyone is interested. Road to Nowhere - A magic realism road trip which dares you to face the end of it all. Dr. Augustine's Surrealistic Story - A tale for our times . . . about a dictator, a ringleader, and a very special circus. This strange, surreal comedy, with an almost Alice in Wonderland-level of playfulness, is also a savage satire. As well as a reminder to guard our creativity against all who wish to crush it. Assassins at Gothic Bridge - A female assassin has arrived here from another plane to hunt down a traitor from her world. Only, he has secrets of his own, and if he wasn't dangerous enough, a band of competing assassins has arrived, after the same target. But they'll need to get through her first.
