Overview

Telepathic hospice workers... a Danish prince haunted by his immortality... a naked mercenary with the ultimate bioweapon... a ghostly gunslinger in a showdown with the Devil's bandits... a writer losing his dog and his mind... a wormhole with a cure to every human ill... Inspired by the author's wife and her struggle to overcome cancer, Slippery When Metastasized is a collection of bizarre yet heartfelt, cross-genre, darkly comic fiction that explores the fears, sorrows, joys, and wonders of living in a universe that has shattered every personal illusion. With influences ranging from Franz Kafka to Ray Bradbury to '80s action movies, the sixteen pieces of prose and poetry offer a blend of strangeness, emotion, and humor across the genres of horror, science fiction, bizarro, and even spaghetti western, laced with metafictional techniques, social satire, and archetypal transformations of pop culture.
