PRAISE FOR THE LIQUID RETREATS

One of the tales, "An Extract from the Sechs Seltene Anatomisch," you will never forget. That's pretty impressive for a 250 word vignette! These short tales -- spare in language -- will continue to work your soul long after you've read them. You won't be quite as sure of the surface of things because the sense of the hidden will grow stronger in you after these pages. This small book may be a good place to start the return to magic."
-- Don Webb, author of Uncle Ovid's Exercise Book
