The Creatures

Caring and cold, funny and deadly serious, hellishly gruesome and wildly fantastic, heart-warming and darkly humorous, the fifteen tales of Part One represent a mix of genres, reveal a different world, dark and bizarre, yet in a way that blurs the borders between mysticism and reality. Some gruesome parallels could be real, but in every story there is an implication, a chance of a magic, supernatural motive. Other episodes may look like sheer fantasy, but each ending offers a possible real explanation. Part Two: Robert Noirson will be a treat for the author's Lost on Earth fans and a good introduction for those new to her work. In this section the stories follow a diverse group of humans as they fight the supernatural forces of the devilish protagonist. Retribution is the deciding factor here, and all comes to a delightfully sinister reptilian end.
