An all original anthology from some of todays hottest supernatural writers, featuring stories of monsters from the monster's point of view. In most stories we get the perspective of the hero, the ordinary, the everyman, but we are all the hero of our own tale, and so it must be true for legions of monsters, from Lucifer to Mordred, from child-thieving fairies to Frankenstein's monster and the Wicked Witch of the West. From our point of view, they may very well be horrible, terrifying monstrosities, but of course they won’t see themselves in the same light, and their point of view is what concerns us in these tales. Demons and goblins, dark gods and aliens, creatures of myth and legend,...

NASA is preparing to launch the space shuttle, this time with a high-paying visitor on board as a guest, and...

When they're not romancing, Alaska trooper Liam Campbell and bush pilot Wy Chouinard spend most of their time hopping from crime scene to scene.
