Book description
In this nightmarish tale, a third-rate detective is faced with an
impossible crime, as bodies are turning up without their brains and
without any indication of how the organs were removed. His only lead -
an attractive landlady - becomes more than a lead and drives him into a
world of terror, where his sanity is questioned and he must stop the
monster before she does more evil. Or should he join her? Does he even
have a choice, or will he just be driven by terror? George Zebrowski's
nearly forty books include novels, short fiction collections,
anthologies, and a book of essays. Science fiction writer Greg Bear
calls him one of those rare speculators who bases his dreams on science
as well as inspiration, and the late Terry Carr, one of the most
influential science fiction editors of recent years, described him as an
authority in the SF field. Zebrowski has published more than seventy
works of short fiction and more than a hundred and forty articles and
essays, and has written about science for Omni Magazine. His short
fiction and essays have appeared in Amazing Stories, The Magazine of
Fantasy & Science Fiction, Science Fiction Age, Nature, the Bertrand
Russell Society News, and many other publications.
