Polyphemus

by Michael Shea
Polyphemus by Michael Shea
Unrated

World Fantasy Award nominee 1988.

From sea-monsters in outer space ("Polyphemus") to aliens in human bodies ("The Autopsy"), these six stories by the author of In Yana, the Touch of Undying display a distinctive talent for the macabre. Whether based in sf or fantasy, Shea's short fiction is not for the squeamish.
