Description
37 stories, more than 600 pages, the ultimate collection of Tchaikovsky’s short(er) fiction.
Delve within...
Hungry ants that want to reconstruct the world in their own image. Occult investigations into private clubs. A philosopher’s attachment to his beloved pet. A new definition of battlefield archaeology.
What the homunculi do when the wizard’s away. A trans-dimensional theatre troupe. Murder by flower-arrangement. The infectious consequences of a fairytale wedding.
A magician conjures Sherlock Holmes. What happens when the mining robots mine, but not for you. The ultimate polycule. What is the groppler and why does it gropple?
Spanning the full spectrum of science fiction and fantasy to the deliciously strange, this collection stretches Tchaikovsky's prolific career, accompanied by a foreword from author of Old Man's War, John Scalzi.

Roberta C, Educator
An absolutely stunning group of short stories. I have read a lot of Adrian Tchaikovsky and always find him compulsively readable. I loved the way it was grouped into sci-fi, fantasy and weird, and even includes a set of Sherlock/ Rivers of London type paranormal investigator stories. Whatever the genre, every story was a hit. It was wonderful to see ideas germinate that later found full expression in novels. Thoroughly recommended if you have ever enjoyed any of Tchaikovsky's novels.
