Together for the first time in one book, here are the best short stories by Bill Ectric, including Time Adjusters, in which insurance companies use a new light-bending technology to capture images of future disaster areas so they can unfairly deny coverage; Space Savers, a blend of science fiction and the supernatural about a sinister plot to control the residents of a retirement home; Cut Up the Stolen Scroll, featuring a stolen Beat Generation artifact and a secret message that turns deadly when subjected to the Burroughs-style cut-up method; Miss Glenly's Dreadful Room, with the ghost of Jacques Derrida looming in the text; the bizarre saga of The House and the Baboon, and more.
