The Dream Quest of Vellitt Boe by Kij Johnson 'synopsis' may belong to another edition of this title.The Hour of the Oxrun Dead by Charles L. If Jim Thompson wrote A CHRISTMAS CAROL, it might go a little something like this. The killer shows no sorrow, no remorse – a teen sociopath whose dead eyes stare in sullen silence. Paul’s life is suddenly invaded by police, reporters, the harsh glare of spotlights on a family’s private sorrow. Paul has seen tragedy a thousand times, but it has never been his own. Paul Kelly is a good man: a firefighter and paramedic facing death and danger daily, risking his own safety for the sake of strangers. The rules continued to be broken, until it seemed that there were no rules at all. With each new generation the edge of rebellion pushed farther. Long before Elvis gyrated on the Sullivan Show or the Beatles toiled the smoky red-light bars of Hamburg, music has been sowing the seeds of liberation. Two great tastes that taste great together. And they feed on the spark inside each of us. Lusting for blood and meat they are gods in the wild. Predators, lurking amidst the human herd. They've been with us forever - prowling the smoky roadhouse dives that are their watering holes and hunting grounds. OTHER BOOKS BY JOHN SKIPP & CRAIG SPECTOR: Animals
