Riassunto

Together for the first time in one book, here are the best short stories by Bill Ectric, including Time Adjusters, in which insurance companies use a new light-bending technology to capture images of future disaster areas so they can unfairly deny coverage; Space Savers, a blend of science fiction and the supernatural about a sinister plot to control the residents of a retirement home; Cut Up the Stolen Scroll, featuring a stolen Beat Generation artifact and a secret message that turns deadly when subjected to the Burroughs-style cut-up method; Miss Glenly’s Dreadful Room, with the ghost of Jacques Derrida looming in the text; the bizarre saga of The House and the Baboon, and more.

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Bill Ectric likes to erase the line between mysticism and science, often blending the genres of mystery, humor, science fiction,psychological drama, and metafiction. Bill's interview with legendary musician David Amram is included in the Literary Kicks book, Beats In Time: A Literary Generation's Legacy. His work is also featured in the Litkicks book Action Poetry: Literary Tribes For the Internet Age. You can see and hear Bill talking about weird lemons and pulsating paisley ectoplasm in Steve Aylett's LINT, the Movie, starring Alan Moore. Bill lives with his wife in Jacksonville, Florida. By day, when not writing, Bill mows the lawn and complains about the heat. By night, he sneaks around in the back yard, convinced that the garden gnomes are “up to something.”
