Blue World

In this expanded edition of Robert McCammons classic short story collection you will encounter horrors and delights in equal measure including: -A man who awakens one morning to find a skeleton in bed where his wife had been the night before. -A small-time thief who steals a makeup case and learns a dead horror stars secret. -A roadside diner where a Vietnam veteran comes seeking shelter from the storm. -A young man in prison who finds beauty and hope on the wings of a yellow bird. -Halloween in a very special residential area where trick-or-treating is deadly serious. -A red house on a street of gray houses and a breath of sweet fire. -The adventures of a has-been serial hero who dons his old costume and goes in search of a serial killer. -A priest obsessed by a porno star and his realization that both of them are being stalked by a third shadow. -An old woman who channels early simpler times in a melancholy Bradburyesque future. We will see worlds within worlds through the windows of these stories. We might even see the end of the world and we might sit on a front porch for a while and sip a glass of gasoline on a hot December day.
