Four never-before-reprinted stories from one of science fiction's brightest new talents. "Someday I Shall Rise and Go” --In the frenzied East Village of 1968, a young woman whose life is spiraling out of control takes a job to retrieve a man's soul. And maybe redeem her own. "Transfigured Night”--It all began in a magic circle in 1958, when a boy found a dark and powerful friend. Now, grown to manhood, he embarks on a horrific quest to reclaim his lost youth and the friend he has never forgotten. "A Huntsman Passing By” --The bouncer at a downtown New York City art world event finds himself at the center of a fairy tale come true a fairy tale with a bloody ending only he can prevent. "Streetcar Dreams”--Kevin Grierson has a Shadow that won't go away. It follows this gay Manhattan antique dealer to auctions, haunts his sex life, and reminds him of old crimes and misdemeanors along the path to recovery and a kind of peace. In the nineties, the author wrote ten stories about Kevin Grierson and his Shadow. "Streetcar Dreams” won a World Fantasy Award for best novella. It was the ultimate Grierson/Shadow tale. Was, in fact, the linking material when the stories were turned into the novel Minions of the Moon.
