158 p. 21 cm. Blue cloth in pictorial dustjacket. Front flap price clipped. Ink stamp on front endpaper. Some pages browning. The author himself wrote the introduction to his first short-story collection, explaining that most of these tales are "about the effects of stress on people." Some characters question their reality, another self-mutilates as entertainment, while others live in a city under seige. Great amusement in bite-sized chunks.
