description: "Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is." But what is he? In his first collection of short fiction, Kent J. Starrett brings to life a tapestry of science fiction, fantasy, horror and the surreal to depict a cosmos of satirical, nightmarish scenarios. From a man who cultivates wounds and infection to build an immunity to death itself, to a woman who seems to attract all her city's vermin and insects with her mere presence; to a game played in dreams against beings as old as time and unfathomable beyond all understanding, the ten stories collected here call forth otherworldly visions of organic and psychological horror that challenge the limits of the human mind and body.
