Strange title for a horror, science fiction and fantasy collection, Some but not all of the stories involve quicksand, and others involve vampires. One Fresh Dead Flesh, has both, sort of. Some of... More > the stories are funny, such as Remote, with its TV Remote Control search robot that trashes two houses in its quest, and Found, which takes lost airport luggage queries into the space travel era.
Time travel is another recurrent theme, with one man murdered and resurrected by a passing time traveller in Busy Doing Nothing. In The Man Who Changed History, a time traveller tries to change the course of the English Civil War. Some other stories here also use that conflict as a backdrop.
Elsewhere, telepathy drives a man insane, two travellers start climbing Everest only to find that they get stuck on top like kids climbing a tree and then getting vertigo, and a new Smart Bomb asks passers by for directions to its target.
So, read on, but watch out for that Vampire Infested Quicksand, won’t you?< Less
