Editor's Note:
A marvelous collection of wickedly apocalyptic stories by a two-time Nebula Award winning author.Three forlorn people huddle in a mausoleum of the frozen dead; they are the sole survivors of a germ-warfare attack that has wiped out the western United States. Their only food supply--the frozen corpses around them. Then, without warning, the refrigerators lose their electricity, and the dead begin to thaw...Rumors spread that occupants of abandoned cars along a desert highway have been abducted by mammoth birds who hunt people as smaller birds hunt worms for their young. But a college professor decides that might not be such a bad fate...A little old man in New York's East Village breeds strange animals to feed an overpopulated, food-short world...In a temple of hallucination, promiscuous love leads to manacled torture and a plaster-bound groin...The ultimate shark story...Supposedly the next best thing to a woman is a sheep, but there may be consequences...A psychopathic hangman discourses with his captive human pendulum...These stories by Edward Bryant, reminiscent of Ballard's Vermillion Sands, envision a bleak and forbidding future for man--one in which unheeded warnings have been fatefully fulfilled: too many people, not enough food, not enough work, useless leisure, and the fear--or memory--of cataclysmic war.His characters live in a chilling world where human values have been either smothered or violently destroyed--a world that is, even now, terrifyingly possible. "Whether our ultimate destination is utopia, dystopia, or Armageddon, we know the curve is headed somewhere. That's a truism. I suspect the curve is directed downward--perhaps completely off the graph. Consider this book a chart; these stories, coordinates."Contents:Adrift on the Freeway • (1970) • short story Among the Dead • (1971) • short storyDune's Edge • (1972) • short storyFile on the Plague • (1971) • short story Introduction: Loci • (1973) • essay Jody After the War • (1972) • short story Love Song of Herself • (1971) • short story No. 2 Plain Tank Auxiliary Fill Structural Limit 17,605 lbs.
