Walk to the edge of reality and look out into worlds that just might be:

human observers witness the preparations for war on an alien planet;
• a serial killer with a fetish for collecting;
• a knight and an animated puppet seek evil in a medieval city;
• Victorian era detectives seek a killer on a distant planetoid;
• friends find more than they expect on a hike into deserted bushland;
• a child who speaks to the dead is called to a funeral.

These are just a few of the stories that wait inside.
