Born and raised in Vermont, Andrew Tisbert is an award winning author of science fiction, fantasy, and so-called "slipstream," whatever the hell that is. He also performed and recorded with the improbably named metal band Attic of Love for the better part of two decades. Yes, he was the flute player. Now he's a miserable shut-in who lives in a broken downtrailer with his 32 angora cats, using paper towels for coffee filters. Here for the first time collected in one anthology are many of his first published stories. Clone orgies. Time travelling social workers. Reincarnated porn stars. Interdimensional infidelities. Masturbating monks on Mars, and The American Civil War with battle elephants. A dozen powerful visions that gaze unflinchingly into the absurdities quickly becoming our future, the bizarre distortions we've made of our past.
