The Confessions of Caliban and Other Stories

About the Book

From the depths of outer space to the tight spaces of the inner mind, the short stories in this collection range from the confessions of a Shakespearian monster, to the rantings of a serial killer who exists outside time and space, and to the bemused thoughts of a man whose world is literally falling apart around him. Moving from the humorous The World, the Flesh, and Maxwell Harrison to the horrific Melissa's Bear and the cautionary Priorities, the Confession of Caliban and Other Stories seeks to go beyond the average science fiction or fantasy story and explore human experiences in a variety of writing styles, from the traditional to the experimental. Whether you come away with a smirk, a smile, or a decided chill up your spine, you will find these short stories an unforgettable experience.
