Sixteen stories bridging the borderlands of mystery, thriller, horror, and science fiction... lands where time travelers are thrown into tragedy and one of the world’s greatest works of art… where a brutal husband discovers his wife’s mysterious skills… where a Depression-era theater troupe summons forth the witches of Macbeth to once again seduce the ambitious with power… where a young woman fights for her husband’s life in his trial for heresy, just as her people race toward destiny and the mythical homeland of Earth… where a shipwreck on the Florida coast yields both riches and terror from across the sea.
