Book Description

Publication Date: November 27, 2002

Tesseracts4 expands the future of speculative fiction in the fourth instalment of this popular anthology of Canadian writers.

Enter worlds where reproductive laws yield a biotechnical marriage of the flesh ... take the stage with a rock 'n' roll band, its fame, fortune and phantom ... prepare for the gift of flight on eagles' wings ... experience the angst of a mother as she searches for her abducted dream child on video ... hand raise a mythical beast in the comfort of your home ... go behind a freakshow cage to meet a philosophical man-faced dog ... charge a truly animalistic sexuality to your credit card.
