A marvelous collection of wickedly apocalyptic stories by a two-time Nebula Award winning author.

I recommend his work unequivocally." -Harlan Ellison "Not since Harlan Ellison has there been so energetic an author; when you read Bryant, you are in good hands." -Theodore Sturgeon (New York Times) "These are contemporary horror stories with monsters more frightening than old-fashioned ghosts and vampires." -Kirkus Reviews. "Compelling and totally unnerving." -Chicago Tribune
Cinnabar ist die Stadt aller Städte, die Stadt im Zentrum des Zeitstroms, der Schnittpunkt zwischen innerer und äußerer Realität. Für den einen zwei Häuserblocks weit, für den anderen Lichtjahre entfernt, ist sie jedoch immer ein Ort, an dem die uns vertrauten Grundlagen der Realität zur Bedeutungslosigkeit verblassen. Hier trifft sich eine futuristische Schickeria, die der Langeweile entfliehen möchte. Hier begegnet man Menschen wie Timnath Obregon, einem seltsamen Wissenschaftler und Erfinder einer Computer-Katzenmutter, Tourmaline Hayes, Filmdiva und Sexstar aller Medien, Cougar Lou Landis, dem Mädchen mit den dreitausend Ehemännern, und Terminex, dem ultimaten, aber manchmal auch etwas verrückten Computer. Cinnabar ist ein Ort- aber in gewisser Weise ist Cinnabar auch ein Zustand...
