The World Is Thin In Places

The world is not as solid as it pretends to be.

In this collection of strange, funny, darkly magical stories, reality frays at the edges, and the people holding it together are rarely the ones in charge. They are children who know better than to ignore spilled milk. Old women with crochet hooks and terrifying competence. Cats who understand where the bodies are buried. Soldiers facing mercy in the snow. Cold War operators hearing saints and demons in the static. Cruise directors trying to keep passengers entertained while mythological judgment boards the ship. Raygun heroes fighting tyrants, stolen common sense, and songs of obedience beneath alien skies.

Here, horror has a sense of humor, comedy has teeth, and apocalypse is often delayed by someone practical enough to bring snacks.
