by Derwin Mak

From distant stars to a Cocoa Beach Hooters, Derwin Mak’s short fiction takes readers through tales of mystery, wonder, and horror. Ethnic traditions meld with fantastic visions in these twelve stories about memory fabric, eldritch gods during the Salem witch trials, and of course, Mecha-Jesus, Japan’s very own android kami.

Foreword by Liana Kerzner, award-winning comedy writer and co-editor of Wrestling With Gods: Tesseracts Eighteen
