High Concept Short Stories in the vein of Philip K. Dick. Various genres but all with a thread of action and tension about them. Each one is short enough to enjoy as if you were watching a film as it happens.

This book also has extra information about what it takes to make a great story. It delves into the Hero's Journey, character creation, and the general way in which a story evolves from idea to finished product.

A sample: "Suddenly the goo starts eating her hands away as she screams watching her fingers dropping off into her lap. She turns and tries to claw her way towards the door with her stumps. The liquid metal starts working its way around her waist. She coughs. She then throws up grey goo which starts eating her mouth away as she gargles. She drops to the ground dead as her nerves twitch. In her temple, her skin crawls as if maggots are under her skin, before the grey goo breaks through. Out of her tear duct, a drop of silver runs down like a tear."
