Watch out – the Earth just fell into a dark sun’s orbit! Or maybe you’d rather visit a theme park called Hell? These are just two of the strange and unnerving tales you’ll find in this collection of great science fiction and fantasy stories. Take your imagination into futuristic and mystical worlds where gravity can kill and humans become walking biochip labs. See the world through the eyes of a four-legged creature in Susan Shwartz’s “Critical Cats”, and meet an electronic storyteller in Isaac Asimov’s “Someday”.

Chasing the Dime
Would you risk your life for a woman you'd never met? Henry Pierce has a whole new life — new apartment, new telephone, new telephone number. But the first time he checks his messages, he discovers that someone had the number before him. The messages on his line are for a woman named Lilly, and she is in some kind of serious trouble. Pierce is inexorably drawn into Lilly's world, and it's unlike any world he's ever known. It is a nighttime world of escort services, websites, sex, and secret identities. Pierce tumbles through a hole, abandoning his orderly life in a frantic race to save the life of a woman he has never met.
"Frankenstein, for that is your name, isn´t it? Or should I call you ´Father´?" "Call me what you like." "Why did you bring me into this world of hate, Frankenstein?" I was surprised by how well he spoke. "It is not a world of hate. It is a world of love." "Love? What is love? You have shown me no love. The world has shown me nothing but hate!"
