HIGH CONCEPTS ... an eclectic mix of science fiction and fantasy, from the darkly serious to the trickily humorous, in a broad range of subject matter. Tales of space exploration and adventures on other worlds. Tales of aliens among us. Interpolations of what life on earth might be like in the near and far future. Variations on such established fantasy tropes as vampires, werewolves, zombies, ghosts and genies. And a handful of experimental concoctions that defy classification.
Thirty-four stories from the pages of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Analog, Fantastic, Amazing Stories, Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, Beyond, Jim Baen's Universe and Venture Science Fiction as well as a host of original anthologies... several stories written in collaboration with Barry N. Malzberg... vintage tales from the late 1960s and early 70s, and current ones from the 20-teens, four of them appearing here for the first time.
Enter the high concept world of Bill Pronzini...
