From Mermaid-Land to Poughkeepsie… Daft professors and their put-upon students roam this world and others in these six stories, training the gimlet eye of Science on history’s stranger mysteries and legends, and answering questions no one ever thought to ask before… Are Gingerbread House-Building Witches really apex predators following instinctive behavior patterns something like trapdoor spiders? When a UFO contactee cult builds a landing field for flying saucers, will anybody show up? Is it possible to bring a dead king back to life when he probably never existed in the first place? Was the next step in human evolution something we never even suspected — and we’ve already missed the bus? Those intrepid if somewhat queasy investigators bring a much-needed reality check to fantasy… but sometimes fantasy bites back! Come along, then, to some other shore! Where mermaids await, and something more…
