Beyond Passing Strange

By Michael Baldwin

Venture within these 175 pages to savor twelve new short stories of science-fiction, mild horror, and alluring strangeness from the guru of wonder-weird, Michael Baldwin. Did God and Satan foist Original Sin on Adam and Eve with the three-door Monte Hall mind trick? Why might a mother microwave her baby? Could texting while driving be an act of domestic terrorism? Is your too-beautiful-to-be-true lover possibly from another dimension? Maybe that black hole in her heart provides a clue. A modern Virgin Mary claims to be the mother of twins Jesus and Judas. Do you think the lives of accountants are dull? This one audits a time-travel company on the Moon. Chaos ensues when bug-eyed monsters capture a beautiful Earth girl and fall hopelessly in love with her. And Zbub is back! That fast-talking supernatural trickster with the stuffed Chupacabra takes a co-ed back in time; helps a family with a deadly, haunted chair; puts a homunculus in your head; and wants to help us save the world from Cthulhu and his sister, too. If you crave some intellectual challenge in your reading adventures, Beyond Passing Strange is your gateway to stories of mindful weirdness and madcap imagination.
