Sarrantonio's second collection of short fiction is a blend of stories from the extremes of the horror spectrum. Some feature apocalypses that begin as local phenomena before spreading globally. Although gruesome incidents abound, Sarrantonio approaches his horrors with subtlety, rendering them through surreal imagery and tethering them tightly to the agitated emotions of his characters. The things that live in the Earth... A haunted computer... A fragrant flower that signals the end of the human race... Billy the Kid's killer beginnings-in the womb...Here, then, are 17 remarkable horror stories by Stoker Award winner, World Fantasy, British Fantasy and International Horror Guild Award finalist Al Sarrantonio.In Hornets and Others you'll find a murderous jar of moonshine, a blood-red wind, a green face that commands carnage, a possessed coat that turns its wearer into a psychotic slasher. Plus stories about a man made of glass and a horror beyond the stars!Also the title story: the acclaimed novella Hornets, the very first tale in the Orangefield cycle, about the warmest Halloween ever, and the orange-and-black-striped insect that brings death to the town of Orangefield. Al Sarrantonio is an American horror and science fiction author who has published, over the past thirty years, more than forty books and sixty short stories. He has also edited numerous anthologies and has been called "a master anthologist" by Booklist.
