STRAP ON YOUR SEATBELT AND PREPARE TO HAVE YOUR MIND BLOWN!Arthur Byron Cover combines the intricate mind games of Borges, the surreal word association of the Firesign Theatre, the outré imagination of Weird Tales, the comic logic of Stan Laurel, and the Lovecraftian existentialism of Colin Wilson.In these pages you will find a retrospective of all the classic science fiction penned by the Nebula Award finalist author of Autumn Angels and The Platypus of Doom.Arthur Byron Cover has had a career spanning six decades, and in addition to his own science fiction, fantasy and horror which has appeared in magazines and anthologies—such as Amazing Stories, Eternities SF, The Alien Condition, Weird Tales, Infinity, The Haunt of Horror, Alternatives, Nine to Eternity, Unquiet Voices, and several selections in The Year's Best Horror—he also wrote strong novels in the Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, Isaac Asimov's Robot City, Time Machine, and Flash Gordon franchises, along with fan favorite scripts for top animated series like Transformers, Real Ghostbusters, Defenders of Earth, The Bionic Six, and others.
