Dissection and Other Stories

These are classic works by Michael Shea that have entered the golden fund of the horror genre, where stories about aliens and other worlds intertwine with horror, and Lovecraftian creatures confront modernity. The legendary collection "Polyphemus" is included in full, as well as additional stories written at the same time.

Here, an elderly pathologist arrives in a small town to perform an autopsy but discovers something monstrous and unimaginable.

A research expedition on an alien deserted planet encounters a predatory life form.

An ordinary homeless man, against his will, enters into a battle with a deadly monster that is stalking passengers of a commuter bus. A killer, who keeps the whole town in fear, faces an unexpected opponent, a powerful interplanetary wanderer who has come to Earth to study humans.

All this and much more can be found on the pages of this book, where horror takes on the most diverse forms, some more paradoxical than others.
