<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Aftershock & Others" features a striking collection of exciting stories by the "New York Times"-bestselling author of the Repairman Jack novels.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Aftershock and Others</i> is the third collection of short fiction by <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author F. Paul Wilson, hailed by the <i>Rocky Mountain News</i> as among the finest storytellers of our times. <p/>The title novelette won the Bram Stoker Award. Its companions touch on the past, present, and future--from the inflationary insanity of Weimar Germany (Aryans and Absinthe) to disco-club-era Manhattan (When He Was Fab), to the rationing of medical services in a grim near future (Offshore). Wilson's stylistic diversity and versatility are on display in stories that pay tribute to Ray Bradbury (The November Game), use a sentient killer virus as a point-of-view character (Lysing toward Bethlehem), and pay unabashed homage to pure pulp fiction in two yellow peril stories (Sex Slaves of the Dragon Tong and Part of the Game). And finally, Wilson treats us to his popular antihero Repairman Jack at his most inventive: trapped in a drugstore with four killers (Interlude at Duane's).</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Praise for author F.

Paul Wilson is a writer's writer, and I grab anything he's written with enthusiasm.--Joe R. Lansdale, author of <i>Freezer Burn</i> <p/>Like the best of Dean Koontz's work, Wilson's work combines an action-adventure yarn with a touch of the fantastic.--<i>The Denver Post</i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Displays an expert grasp of storytelling mechanics and an impressive breadth of themes and approaches.... Wilson establishes characters with a few deft strokes, quickly sets up a tricky plot, and then masterfully maneuvers the reader to a well-orchestrated (and sometimes surprising) ending." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"Wilson is a great writer and his skill with short stories is equal to his talent with novels...a must-have for every fan of crime fiction and great action." --<i>Crimespree Magazine</i> <p/>"Lights are going to be staying on all night as the pages turn." --<i>RT Book Reviews</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>F.
