Description: These thirteen tales twist the conventions of science fiction, mystery, horror, humor, and adventure into one gripping collection. In "Green Ice" unassuming Mr. Ino is assigned to recover a missing extraterrestrial artefact, believed to be from the icy moon of Europa. "The Devil's Hop Yard" is a sequel to H P Lovecraft's classic "The Dunwich Horror". The perils of being a too-avid book collector are illustrated in "Whatever Happened to Nick Neptune". A most peculiar visit to the bathroom and its ramifications on the safety of the sun yields the story "Stream of Consciousness."
