The Dreaming Kind: Short Stories and Fantasies

Acclaimed Science Fiction and Fantasy author C. S. Friedman invites you to journey into the deliciously disturbing worlds of her imagination.

A bank clerk struggles to deal with malware inside his head...

A woman is required by law to let her dying mother take over her body...

A writer meets the man of her dreams (or perhaps her nightmares)...

A time traveler seeks scalped tickets to the Sermon on the Mount...

A telepath must abandon her humanity to negotiate with alien predators...

A visiting extraterrestrial chooses a down-and-out junkie for its first human contact...

From humorous to dark, witty to lyrical, this collection of eight short stories (plus a few extra treats) showcases the versatile talent of one of the genre's most creative writers. If you're not already a fan of C. S. Friedman, you soon will be. And if you're already a fan, you'll enjoy reading these rarely-seen shorter works.
