In this collection of short stories, Tom Moore takes a look at normal things from a different point of view, altering the stereotypical concepts we might have on subjects such as angels, demons, aliens and, ultimately, the way we see ourselves. Requiem puts a twist on old tales, presents new ideas, and challenges the reader to think past the accepted, all with a spicy sauce of satire, a helping of humor, and enough maybe-truths to be thought provoking. The subjects wander from Communist stuffed animals to computer-savvy demons, and touch on the true origins of Christmas, a history of space flight, and, as much as Moore hates to admit it, yes, killer chickens.
