Résumé
Twelve short stories of speculative fiction from &“an author who genuinely comes close to defying all attempts at description. A true original&” (Infinity Plus). Enter the boundless realms of science fiction, fantasy, horror, the weird, the surreal, and the… absurd with a dozen stories from acclaimed author Paul Di Filippo. Watch as a man tries to adapt when his intense connection with instinct and nature vanishes in &“Before and After Science,&” a long-lost story that appeared in a fanzine decades ago. Enjoy the flash fiction of &“Domotica Berserker!&” in which massive house printers get hacked and go on a rampage—painting the town pink. Get a glimpse of how LARPing and nowts (aka now-tweakers) don&’t mix in &“A Faster, Deeper Now.&” And delve into the Lovecraftian mythos with &“The Horror at Gancio Rosso,&” in which retired New York City crimefighter Joseph Petrosino travels to Sicily to investigate new bodies appearing in a catacomb filled with ancient mummies. This mind-blowing collection is &“an example of what makes Di Filippo, Di Filippo. Best part: it throws the taxonomy of genre out the window to be creative in a number of ways&” (Speculiction). Praise for Paul Di Filippo &“Di Filippo is like gourmet potato chips to me. I can never eat just one of his stories.&” —Harlan Ellison &“Di Filippo is the spin doctor of SF—and it is a powerful medicine he brews.&” —Brian Aldiss, Hugo Award–winning author of Hothouse &“Vibrant, nervy, and full of gloriously wiggy language, Ribofunk is anything but the same old stuff.&” —The Philadelphia Inquirer
