Short story anthology of Pandemic Tales in various genres; fantasy, fairy tale, science fiction, magical realism.
What if . . .
. . . our Neanderthal genes made us immune to the virus?
. . .the lockdown gave the homeless unexpected freedom?
. . . the virus killed everyone after their first-born child?
. . . the mask mandate became the key to romance?
. . .the maskless ruled the Wasteland?
And, what if things were much, much worse?
Starting lightly, these stories navigate through laughter, love, sadness and fear, while gracefully weaving the present, the fourteenth century and uncertain futures into tales told by refugees of the Plague, in a framing narrative that is all too familiar.
I’m in tears yet smiling. I feel quite tethered to the ground when I read these short stories of yours - they float, they fly, they nestle right into me. Steve - you’re a gift. – Jan Wigen
It’s about time . . .. Schneider ties together a pestilence in the past, the current pandemic, and their influences on the future with a series of delightful and infectious stories. – George Lathrop
