Elin's across-the-street neighbor has gotten a little obsessive about mowing the lawn. Shadow Hill's HOA isn't that strict. Is there something darker going on? Or is Elin just letting her imagination run away with her?

Vanessa died before Dalton could grant her immortality. Clinging to the faint hope that his wife might return, he subsists on blood and memories through the centuries. Like a phantom sleepwalking through time — always waiting, always searching — he drifts from town to town until the impossible happens. She's there. She might not remember him or their life together. She might have a different name and different life, but he would know the heart fate stole from him anywhere. And now he's faced with an immortal's cruellest dilemma. Does he reclaim what's his or honor her new life?

Drawing heavily on Lovecraftiana and myth, these are tales of devil’s bargains, love songs to monsters, and the people—human and otherwise—who inhabit liminal spaces. Ghosts, gods, and ghouls make their way as best they can, one step sideways from the mortals around them. Many are connected; some are puzzle pieces that don’t quite fit. Spanning a decade of writing, Still So Strange is Amanda Downum's first collection of short fiction, and includes stories originally released in Strange Horizons, Realms of Fantasy, and Weird Tales, as well as original, unpublished work. 

An incubus disguised as a high school girl puts a disturbing spin on the teacher/student fantasy. An engineer creates a robot with unexpected consequences during the end of the world. A man becomes the pet of alien invaders. From stories of aliens in other worlds to those living among us, these tales will move you out of your comfort zone and open you up to experiencing something - or someone - completely different.
