With stylistic mastery and typical daring,
Californian writer Felice Picano delivers seven groundbreaking
stories that go beyond anything before imagined. In The
Perfect Setting, landscape paintings give clues to different
crimes they depict, possibly including the murder of the artist
herself. In One Way Out, a backpack traveler strives
to escape a strange and frightening nightmare existence, only
to discover it is monitored by psychiatrists. People of different
epochs experience fragile encounters and love affairs in the
novella Ingoldsby, a very different, almost Noel
Coward-comedy, time-travel story. Future interplanetary explorers
find themselves caught up in a seductively dangerous planet
in Food for Thought. And our future cosmic civilization
traces back to its roots within the ruins of an unknown, extinct
species in The Secret of the Abandoned Monument.
All seven stories are gripping experiences that will take
readers out of this world. Destined to become a classic bestseller,
Tales: from a distant planet clearly illustrates
why Felice Picano has become not only one of the world’s most
influential and respected writers but a popular cultural icon.
