About The Book
This collection of unforgettable and uncanny stories could only come from the mind of award winner Neal Shusterman. Compiled for the first time in one epic volume, these stories both classic and brand-new will stretch your imagination from terror to the sublime and back again. Explore a world where bats block out the sun, where soup is a trap for your soul, or where the life-force of a glacier can bring back the dead. Journey to a place where the wind can be captured, time can be crafted into infinite attic space, or a hot tub can house an ancient monster. And revisit the Arc of the Scythe universe for two all-new tales of gleaning.
In this collection, the only thing that is truly certain is nothing is certain.

Raves and Reviews
"Seven talented narrators deliver Shusterman’s compelling science fiction stories, which include two new ones from the popular “Arc of the Scythe” series. The works provide introductions to new worlds and are loosely grouped into two categories: strange and terrifying beings and personal transformations. Shusterman; his son, Brendan; and the other narrators alternate, portraying males, females, and one genderfluid character, capturing the dark, surprising, and occasionally humorous aspects of their worlds. Some of the stories have been edited due to technological and social changes since their original publication. A full-cast interview serves as an enticing introduction to the production."
