Uncanny ideas, gathered in one collection

Neal Shusterman’s collection brings classic and new short fiction together, ranging from stories about bats that block the sun and soul-trapping soup to tales involving captured wind, expandable attic space, and an ancient presence in a hot tub. Two new stories return to the Arc of the Scythe universe. Across its many imaginative premises, the book moves between the uncanny, the fantastic, and the unsettling, making variety a defining feature of the collection.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in short fiction collections.

Book overview

For the first printing only! This deluxe paperback features stained and stenciled edges and French flaps while the special edition supply lasts.

From the incomparable mind of award winner Neal Shusterman, New York Times bestselling author of the Arc of a Scythe, comes a collection of uncanny and unforgettable short stories.

This collection of unforgettable and uncanny stories could only come from the mind of award winner Neal Shusterman. Compiled for the first time in one epic volume, these stories both classic and brand-new will stretch your imagination from terror to the sublime and back again. Explore a world where bats block out the sun, where soup is a trap for your soul, or where the life-force of a glacier can bring back the dead. Journey to a place where the wind can be captured, time can be crafted into infinite attic space, or a hot tub can house an ancient monster. And revisit the Arc of the Scythe universe for two all-new tales of gleaning.

In this collection, the only thing that is truly certain is nothing is certain.
