Book Description

May 2004
From worlds existing only in computer memory to the edge of the universe and beyond, from castle walls to space station corridors, from the ultimate rock-n-roll hedonism to valiant heroism, and from supernatural creatures to alien visitors, critically-acclaimed writer Stephen L. Antczak takes you on fifteen journeys of the imagination. Each story features an introduction from the author. Includes five never-before-published stories.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Antczak is a new writer worth watching, and may well become one of the leading voices of the new century. -- Allen Steele, author of "Coyote"

Antczak is a rare talent who can mix solid science fictional ideas with a neat helping of whimsey. -- Ben Bova

No formula here; these stories are different, sharp, and challenging. A fine collection. -- Piers Anthony

More About the Author

I sold my first short story in 1990 and have sold over 50 stories since then, mostly science fiction, fantasy and horror. Some of my stories were collected into a book called DAYDREAMS UNDERTAKEN, published by Marietta Publishing, 2004. My novel, GOD DRUG, illustrated by artist Andy Lee, was also published by Marietta Publishing in 2004.

Anthologies that I have had stories in include: ADVENTURES IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE edited by Carol Serling, SUPERHEROES edited by John Varley & Ricia Mainhardt, A CONFEDERACY OF THE DEAD, CHILLED TO THE BONE, GAHAN WILSON'S ULTIMATE HAUNTED HOUSE, 100 WICKED LITTLE WITCH STORIES and MONDO ZOMBIE.

I co-wrote the short film NO WITNESS featuring Shawn Mullins, and co-wrote the feature film based on it, also called NO WITNESS, starring Corey Feldman, Jeff Fahey and Marisa Petroro. I wrote the script for the feature film SEX & CONSEQUENCES starring Corbin Bernsen & Joan Severance.

My play, ROMEO'S GHOST, was produced in Chicago and Los Angeles.

My comic book, NIGHTWOLF: THE PRICE, was published by Devil's Due Publishing and optioned for TV by 20th Century Fox. Another comic I wrote, ARKADIAN, was optioned by Hong Kong based FilmOrient. I also wrote the comic HERC BROWN and co-wrote the graphic novel BEOWULF THE LEGEND.

5.0 out of 5 stars Daydreams Undertaken, June 25, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Daydreams Undertaken (Paperback)
Great set of short stories. I'm not much for sci-fi so it was nice that this collection offered plenty of creative settings with unique and interesting characters and plots.

5.0 out of 5 stars What A GREAT first novel, May 30, 2004
This review is from: Daydreams Undertaken (Paperback)
This is an excellent book. Filled with great scifi/fantasy stories. Author has really done a great job in capturing his characters and story lines.

A must read for all scifi/fantasy fans. And a must read for non fantasy fans also because this will quickly make you a scifi/fantasy fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Playful and Imaginative, August 10, 2005
This review is from: Daydreams Undertaken (Paperback)
I rarely read short stories because I rarely find any that satisfy me. Even when I find a writer who can write them well, usually an anthology of their work is still hit or miss, bad stories among the good.

There are no bad stories in this book. More to the point, ALL the stories in this book are GOOD.

Reading these tales we see an imagination at work that is agile, thoughtful, and playful. Stephen Antczak is a writer to keep an eye on.
