Bend your view of the world in these six disquieting tales and escape to places where what cannot be will be.

In "The Hissing Trees," decode a hidden message within a dying man's DNA. In "Animal Hour," see what happens when the dead vanish from the world and leave nothing behind. In "Escape to Melancholy Bay," walk with a group of survivors through a wasteland where ownership is everything. In "Long Solemn Bridges," discover a journal that freezes its subjects in time. In "Out of Water," explore the depths of a unfamiliar world you have lived on all your life. And in "Woad Trip," learn what lingers with the loves you no longer have.
