This third volume in a series offers eight short stories written in 1990 by authors including Gene Wolf, Gary Brandner and Nancy Collins. Nelson Runger, Bill Fantini and Ann Wilcox offer polished, effective readings of the selections. Nina Kiriki Hoffman, reading two of her own stories, is less effective. The stories are good enough, but her rushed, untrained narration detracts from appreciation.

Technology plays a surprisingly small role in these provocative (though not very cheerful) explorations of possible human futures. The emphasis is on the human. Going far beyond genre appeal, they are fine works by any standard and are given readings worthy of them. All of the stories are first person narratives, and all of the readers unobtrusively become the narrator, letting the stories tell themselves. It will be regrettable if the audience for this fine collection is limited to those who consider themselves science fiction fans. J.N. AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Their relationship is idyllic until he meets Mad's multi-generational, cantankerous, eccentric family that lives in a rambling riverside estate. But the dysfunctional activities are not all that is wrong with them. What's really wrong is that many are dead, returned from the grave just to bicker. 2 cassettes.
