Pieces - Ray Garton: A great, sick, silly story about a guy who literally falls to pieces after he gains memory flashes of suppressed abuse. It's horrible but also funny...you may see the last line coming but still brilliant.
Little Holocausts - Brian Hodge: A sad and painful story about coping with loss. A gay couple try to come to terms with the deaths of their respective exes. Enter Hieronymous Beadle Esq. who promises he can take the pain away...
Free Dirt - Ray Bradbury: Free Civil War dirt to be more accurate, which finds its way into a young man's garden. But it's not just dirt of course. And then a storm comes in the night... Unsettling.
Skinned Angels - Kathryn Ptacek: Jim and Bev are on a reconciliation holiday in Santa Fe. In a musty and dusty antique shop with his wife Jim picks up a coral necklace... This is a story about a relationship falling apart and losing yourself.
The Price - Neil Gaiman: The story of a heroic black cat protecting it's adopted family from terrible evil. Gaiman is obviously a cat person, so he's ok by me And the story's not bad either...
