The Line Between Life and Death

Richard Ferguson's short story collection contains a wildly diverse assortment of sci-fi, dark fantasy, and poignant fiction -- he explains the book's title: "Every living thing walks on the line between life and death from the time it becomes aware of its existence."

Noteworthy selections in this exceptional collection include:

In SECOND HONEYMOON, a young couple sets off on a trip seeking to find their lost marriage.

BILLY BOWLEGS is chief of a tribe, but he must prove that air can kill if he is to keep his honor.

In CHRISTMAS MORNING, a very wise little girl helps John Symington find difficult answers.

In ALFIE, an old soldier makes a desperate effort to regain the love of his wife.

THE ARRANGEMENTS portrays a son who learns from his father many years after the lesson.

Like his previous short story collection, WEIRD TALES, Richard Ferguson's THE LINE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH is a powerhouse compilation that proves once again that Ferguson is a true master of short fiction.
