Presenting a discovery of thirteen scripts and stories, most previously uncollected and not seen since their original appearances in the 80's and 90's. From stage plays and teleplays and comic scripts, to tales of Gothic dread, fiendish murder, retro-futures, high-seas adventure, and more - Variety's the spice, and the stage's the thing. With insights and commentary on the creation and evolution of each script and piece (written exclusively for this volume).Take a genre-hoping journey into the back of the literary closet, and unearth some old (and new) classics."Refreshing and surprising; Dennis Edelen pays his debts to the masters who came before him, while showing some old genres a few new tricks." - Alain Renite, author of "The Architecture of Imagination"
