Description:

The old stories tell us there was a man named Moses who spoke with the authority of a god. At the bidding of his master, he brought death, famine, and pestilence upon the Egyptians. Ten plagues struck the land like sick breath.

In these ten new works of fiction -- one for each plague -- our talented authors examine the old stories from new angles. They unearth, by way of fictive archaeology, the deeper causes of the plagues, and the reasons we can't help but pass the legend from generation to generation.
