| Description: | This collection of short stories by Keith Croes transports the human psyche to the farthest reaches of the universe, where we can be found looking squarely back at ourselves. The gnome living in a toxic swamp in New Jersey; the high-school science teacher spending his life at the local dump, looking for a peculiar light bulb; the orthopedic surgeon duped into giving an African tribe a fighting chance for survival; the grieving widower who rents a replacement wife...in the tradition of Bradbury and Asimov, ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. |
