Mudman (The Golem Chronicles #1)
by Hunter A. JamesThe author of the Yancy Lazarus series introduces a golem forged from the ashes of WWII in “a dark tale of vengeance and redemption” (Domino Finn, author of the Black Magic Outlaw series). Levi Adams is a soft-spoken, middle-aged Mennonite man—at least he tries to be when he’s not murdering people. Levi’s a golem, a Mudman, crafted from the muck, mire, and corpses of a World War II concentration camp and saddled with a divine commission to dole out judgment on those who shed innocent blood. But now, after seventy years as a cold-blooded murder machine, he’s turned to AA meetings and church services to help change his grisly nature. Until he runs across a wounded girl, Sally Ryder, during one of his “hunting expeditions.” Someone is attempting to revive a pre-Babylonian murder god, and the road to rebirth is paved with dead bodies. Lots and lots of them. Now, Levi must protect Sally—the key to an unspeakable resurrection—and defeat a Nazi mage from his murky past, one who holds a terrible secret about the Mudman’s unorthodox birth. It’s a secret Levi would pay anything to uncover: maybe even Sally’s life. If Levi isn’t careful, he may end up turning into the monster he always imagined himself to be. “A timeless tale of striving against evil . . . Highly recommended if you like paranormal thrillers, psychological thrillers and books such as Jeff Lindsey’s Dexter Morgan series, Thomas Harris’ Hannibal Lecter books, the TV show Supernatural.” —Port Jericho “A mash of styles and creative ideas, blending religious mythology from Jewish and Christian beliefs alongside Nazi atrocities and supernatural ghouls.” —TheBookBeard’s Blog

Multiples: A Short Story
by Robert SilverbergFor some people, one personality is just never enough. A story of duplicity from the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author of Lord Valentine&’s Castle. Slowly, a climate of acceptance has been growing for people with divided personalities, especially in big cities like San Francisco. There are clubs with mirrors and lights that help people to switch and double, maybe even triple. When, like Cleo, you feel your world has become stale and cramped, they&’re the perfect place to meet someone. But first Cleo has to pretend that she&’s a multiple, because they&’re notoriously indifferent to singletons and their bland, overly simple selves. When she meets Van, she&’s able to pull off her masquerade for a week of bliss with him (and Paul, and Hal, and . . .). Or so she thinks. When Cleo is caught in her lie, she attempts to bow out gracefully. But Van doesn&’t want to lose her. In fact, he wants more of her. There could be a whole horde of selves inside of her—and he knows just how to get them out . . . &“In the thoughtful and emotionally evocative title story, &‘Multiples,&’ multiple personality &‘disorder&’ is normal, and indeed a desired state, creating an effective metaphor for the loneliness experienced by socially isolated individuals.&” —SF Site Praise for Robert Silverberg and his short stories &“When Silverberg is at the top of his form, no one is better.&” —George R. R. Martin, #1 New York Times–bestselling author &“Decades after being originally published, most of these stories are still just as entertaining and powerful as they were when first released. A singularly unique collection.&” —Kirkus Reviews
