About This Book
Modern cultures are awash in in the reflections of humankind's primitive past. Often, only graven images of ancient violence pass through eons of time to speak to us today, and it is these Death Eidolons that enable us to understand the darkest point of our collective origins. Whether looming implacably through a dense jungle tangle or winking grotesquely through the uncertain blue light of our television sets, we cannot escape countless contemporary examples of our own wicked inhumanity, which most of us daily constrain with a sheer and most tenuous mastery. Experience the surreal by reading "The Spiral Stair", "Far World Voyager", "Alien Abductions", "Hinterlands", "Pablo's People", "Mercy, In Black" and "Walk a Day with a Devil". Wander the ghostly realms of "He Calls Fridays with the Rain", "Grandma Moses", and "Dames, Dives and Death". Witness the future as foretold in "Freedom in a Cage", "Recom!", "Dinosaur!", "Die Ball", "Devilfish", and "Lucky Thirteen", and then "Let Slip the Dogs of War", explore "Devil's Tower", encounter ominous "Night Visitors", get to know "Misters Monster" and "Horrid Torrid" of a stormy evening. Meet the face of contemporary evil in "The Road to Hell", "Prison in the Sky", "Mr. Accident", and "Mr. S", and enjoy the adventure of "Plastic Wayfarers", "We, Grifters Three", "The Poppy Express", and "The Dumping Game". Feel the redemption of love when you find yourself "In the Devils Hands", and when you read "Hate and Loathing", "Bernie's Thing" and "Midway".
