How do you mark a quarter century? While parties are great-and we'll have those-I wanted to distill the time in a tangible way. To hold it in my hands, and share with you, dear listeners, in celebration and appreciation.

But how?

A collection! I dove into my published short fiction. Some I included because they were challenging to write. Several show my growth as a writer. I love them all. There's science fiction, fantasy, and, yes, horror. Plus an all-new story from Night's Edge.

If you know me only from my novels, welcome to the darker, deeper corners of my imagination.
