SOME of the stories you are about to read tell of people you know, of events that might happen – but haven't yet.
SOME will take you to the furthermost reaches of the sky, to planets whose names are unknown this side of Arcturus.
AND SOME – perhaps the richest and most memorable of these stories – open into the interior of strange minds... and reveal the reflection of ourselves.
