Three-year-old Vangie is mute and unresponsive. She shows no interest in the people or world around her, much to the frustration of her callous foster parents. Little do they know, Vangie is otherwise occupied observing “ghosts”—an infinite number of versions of herself, in an infinite number of parallel universes. When a tornado hits their trailer and Vangie is severely injured, she makes a desperate leap into another timeline where she survives the tornado, but her foster parents do not.

This eclectic, wide-ranging collection of some of Di Filippo's newest stories - plus one newly excavated gem from nearly thirty years past - illustrates the enormous territory encompassed by modern fantastical fiction in general, and this writer's realm in particular. Whether our heroes are trying to kill God (The Trail of the Creator, the Trial of Creation) or time-travel to a happier era (I'll Follow the Sun), they exhibit all the intelligence, derring-do, resilience, and manic assaults on the multiverse found in the best classic imaginative literature.

Before his stroke and the onset of old age, Frank Lazorg was the king of the fantasy illustrators - with an ego to match. But he can paint no more.

With his rage and jealousy unleashed and his grasp of reality severely compromised, Lazorg is led to commit an unspeakable act, and, in turn, is led... somewhere else.
