"Bizarre fortællinger" er ti uforudsigelige historier, som kombinerer urovækkende surrealisme med poetisk skønhed. En stavefejl på et henkogningsglas for fatale konsekvenser, i 1600-tallets Polen vækker fundet af mosdækkede plantefolk afsky og fascination, og blandt kinesiske bjergtempler søger en europæisk mand sandheden om sit transplanterede hjerte. Hver af historierne er som et kikhul ind til en virkelighed lige bag vores, hvad enten de foregår i genkendelige rammer eller på steder, som ikke figurer på noget landkort.

Además de novelista, Philip K. Dick fue un prolífico autor de cuentos y relatos, muchos de los cuales han sido llevados al cine en los últimos tiempos. Él mismo reunió sus narraciones breves en cinco volúmenes que ahora recuperamos en una edición revisada.
