Really, Really, Really, Really Weird Stories, Paperback

WELCOME TO THE WEIRD, WEIRD, WEIRD, WEIRD WORLD OF JOHN SHIRLEY...

How deep into the weird will you go? Will you wade to your knees? Your waist? Your shoulders? Will you get in over your head?

This truly unique story collection from the acclaimed and unsettling John Shirley is organized into four sections. The first section is Really Weird Stories. The second is Really, Really Weird Stories. The third is Really, Really, Really Weird Stories. The fourth is-oh yes-Really, Really, Really, Really Weird Stories. And the author means what he says: each section is weirder than the last, doubling its strangeness a section at a time. The collection starts out disquieting; it becomes disturbing, then it gets outrageously weird-then mind-bending. Yet each story is a compelling narrative.

Some of the stories are set in the "real world;" others have a supernatural or science-fiction basis, or come from a place where genres are destroyed by explosive vision. In this edition there are four new stories, including the Lovecraftian Antarctic adventure "A Boy and His Shoggoth," and, published here for the first time, "The Whisperer Made Visible"-a tale of secret treaties with horrors eldritch and invisible.

This updated edition of Really, Really, Really, Really Weird Stories is one of the most impressive feats of sustained and varied weirdness since Harlan Ellison's landmark Dangerous Visions anthologies. Your mind is strong. Take the risk...
