Patrice Sarath is an award-winning filmmaker and author living in Austin, Texas. This, her debut collection, gathers her finest short fiction from more the past two decades and adds a brand new story (currently being adapted into a film).

Featuring tales set in the same milieu as the author’s Tales of Port Saint Frey novels alongside contemporary fantasies, deep space skulduggery and much much more, this collection is perfect for all fans of great stories well told.

What distinguishes all these stories is Patrice’s ability to create complex and believable characters… a rare gift. – Martin Owton from his Introduction.
