Bad Timing, and Other Stories

That long overdue collection is here!

An Earthman's stranded spaceship is besieged by thousands of cuddly aliens whose idea of war is to commit ritual suicide; a teenage princess is kidnapped by an army of undead skeletons; a Chinese demon rides through the streets of Soho; and Toni Fisher tells Joanne Krenski, "I'm working on a calculation that will show density of shoulder pad to be in directly inverse proportion to level of intelligence. I'm drunk by the way."

From the satire of the award-winning "Bad Timing" to the horror of "Feeding Julie", via the mind-twisting paradoxes of "Women on the Brink of a Cataclysm" and the out-and-out comedy of "Agents of Darkness", these stories from the first ten years of Molly Brown's writing career show her range and versatility, and never fail to enthral. Several of the stories have been specially updated for this edition.
