In this collection, thirteen short story writers come together with fourteen short stories loaded with point of view, foreshadowing, metaphor, tone, diction and a variety of sentence-structures, to name just a few tricks of their trade. Deliberately throwing you off the track with a twist in the tail, or a single non-realistic element in an otherwise realistic story, the stories in this volume pack a punch. They act as agents of time and space, reaching out from one time to another, or across cultures; they explore the relationship between the author, the reader and the text in compelling ways.
