After nearly two months out away from Pine Lake and the women in his life, Chris is finally ready to head back. Feeling like he's conquered his demons, or at least won a decisive battle against them, and learned some crucial things about himself and his relationships, he's eager to return home and continue his life there. But it's going to be a long walk, and although he isn't too concerned about the day-to-day difficulties of traveling across the frozen wilderness, he's nervous about traveling with the four women he's picked up while out finding himself.

James is living the life! The company keeps getting better (and bigger), and his cabin in the woods is the perfect place to spend the colder months. The place is getting a little… crowded, though, but James might find a way to deal with that. After all, he has just recovered a powerful artifact that can improve his magic and make his cozy home even better! But James and his women will also find plenty of time to relax. They’ll craft enchantments, learn magic, and get to know each other even better.

His relationship with Lara and Susan is growing into something much more complex and emotional, and on top of that, Jessica has just arrived on their doorstep with her daughter Hannah. She reveals that she has left her neglectful husband for good, and consequently needs a place to stay.

Drawing heavily on Lovecraftiana and myth, these are tales of devil’s bargains, love songs to monsters, and the people—human and otherwise—who inhabit liminal spaces. Ghosts, gods, and ghouls make their way as best they can, one step sideways from the mortals around them. Many are connected; some are puzzle pieces that don’t quite fit. Spanning a decade of writing, Still So Strange is Amanda Downum's first collection of short fiction, and includes stories originally released in Strange Horizons, Realms of Fantasy, and Weird Tales, as well as original, unpublished work.

Lasciando solo una lettera, Newt abbandona la Berga prima che i Radurai tornino dalla loro missione a Denver, in Colorado.
