Written over a period of seven years, the dark, finely crafted stories of Robert Williams's first short story collection offers up tales of science fiction, horror, historical fiction, and mystery. In the award-winning short story, "The Experiment," a young man is subjected to a deadly test: how much pressure will it take to force him to kill a stranger? "Graymalkin" tells the origin of the Weird Sisters from Shakespeare's "Macbeth." Edgar Allen Poe is involved in a real-life woman's mysterious disappearance in "Mary Rogers." A vampire of India struggles against his demonic creator in "Child of the Lamia," while a lonely man seeks a different kind of redemption in "The Man Upstairs." Taken together, the tales of "Strange Times" make a powerful introduction to a bold new voice in modern fiction.
