AFTERSHOCK & OTHERS: 19 ODDITIES by F. Paul Wilson - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOK
See all titles by F. Paul Wilson.
Aftershock & Others is the third collection of short fiction by New York Times bestselling author F. Paul Wilson, hailed by the Rocky Mountain News as “among the finest storytellers of our times.”
The
title novelette won the Bram Stoker Award and its companions touch on
the past, present, and future—from the inflationary insanity of Weimar
Germany (“Aryans and Absinthe”) to disco club–era Manhattan (“When He
Was Fab”), to the rationing of medical services in a grim near future
(“Offshore”).
Wilson’s stylistic diversity and versatility are on
display in stories that pay tribute to Ray Bradbury (“The November
Game”), use a sentient killer virus as a point-of-view character
(“Lysing toward Bethlehem”), and pay unabashed homage to pure pulp
fiction in two yellow peril stories (“Sex Slaves of the Dragon Tong” and
“Part of the Game”). And finally, Wilson treats us to his popular
antihero Repairman Jack at his most inventive: trapped in a drugstore
with four killers (“Interlude at Duane’s”).
