A Carnival of Chimeras

Stephen Woodworth

4.3/5 ( ratings)

A man with a woman's face on the back of his head. A zombie Richard Nixon who rises from the grave to save the world on the eve of Armageddon. A blind man terrorized by a creature in dreams of utter blackness - a being he can only sense through sound, smell, and touch. A legendary bird that kings would kill to possess, for it sings a song of exquisite pathos… but only when it is tortured beyond endurance.

These are among the sideshow sensations featured in A Carnival of Chimeras, the long-awaited first collection of short fiction by Stephen Woodworth, award-winning author of the New York Times best-selling paranormal thrillers Through Violet Eyes and With Red Hands. Culled from a career spanning more than 20 years, including appearances in Fantasy & Science Fiction, The Best of Black Wings, and Year's Best Fantasy, these tales range from surreal explorations of the human psyche to visceral evocations of cosmic dread - a funhouse filled with thrills like no other.
