Hearts Uncanny

"Claustrophobic beauty and spiritual paranoia fill Breslin's imaginative and captivating glimpses into reality and unreality, always centered on the strength and dignity of the human will."--Bradley J. Birzer, Russell Amos Kirk Chair, Hillsdale College
From the author of "Other Minds: 13 Tales of Wonder and Sorrow"

Rescued from an ambush, a resistance fighter can't shake the suspicion that his saviors are his enemies in disguise ... Responding to a distress beacon, a team of asteroid miners confronts an unspeakable form of life ... A childhood friend grows up to be all she'd ever wanted-with alarming consequences ... A struggling artisan gets help from out of this world-with some strings attached ... A brilliant and notorious inmate hears a riddle that he cannot, and perhaps should not, solve ... To spare him the nursing home, Harley begs Grandpa Moore to keep his frightening visions secret, but Grandpa's monsters may be too near to ignore.
Science fiction. Creature horror. Urban fantasy. Dark humor. In the meditative legacy of Bradbury, Vonnegut, and Dick, these and seven more speculative tales explore the unquiet longings of the human heart.
