What about the boy raised by birds?It's a hard life for the man who is always second.Imagine a world where nothing dies. Nothing.What would a zombie have to do to prove his status as undead?In these Disturbing Tales, Ron Miller answers (or in some cases, asks) questions that will make you look at the world differently, and not necessarily from a position of comfort. Ron Miller has the rare gift of being a visionary in two ways: a superb imaginative artist who is also a fine storyteller. I've been an admirer of his paintings for many years; what a pleasure it is to discover that his short stories are just as wonderful. Disturbing Stories is a terrific collection; read this book, by all means. —Allen Steele, three-time Hugo Award-winnerThe gumshoe esthetic of sf and horror!

Clarke, science fiction Grand Master...hilarious, extraordinary writing... left me gasping for more! —Martin Olson, author of Encyclopaedia of Hell, writer for Phineas and Ferb
