Aftershock and Others is the third collection of short fiction by New York Times bestselling author F. Paul Wilson, hailed by the Rocky Mountain News as "among the finest storytellers of our times." Includes the short story that was the basis for the short "Foet." The title novelette won the Bram Stoker Award. Its companions touch on the past, present, and future—from the inflationary insanity of Weimar Germany ("Aryans and Absinthe") to disco-club-era Manhattan ("When He Was Fab"), to the rationing of medical services in a grim near future ("Offshore"). Wilson's stylistic diversity and versatility are on display in stories that pay tribute to Ray Bradbury ("The November Game"), use a sentient killer virus as a point-of-view character ("Lysing toward Bethlehem"), and pay unabashed homage to pure pulp fiction in two yellow peril stories ("Sex Slaves of the Dragon Tong" and "Part of the Game"). And finally, Wilson treats us to his popular antihero Repairman Jack at his most inventive: trapped in a drugstore with four killers ("Interlude at Duane's"). At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Pastiche…sounds like something you might eat…but the official definition is “an artistic work in a style that imitates that of another work, artist, or period.” A pastiche can be respectful or can descend to parody. Over the course of his long career F. Paul Wilson often has been invited to work with the characters and realms created by iconic writers in varied genres. Usually he would decline, but sometimes the temptation to play in a favorite author’s sandbox was too great and he gave in. As a fan of all the chosen authors, he approached the characters and worlds they created with the greatest respect. So in that sense, his pastiches are also homages. H. P. Lovecraft, Mary W. Shelley, Ray Bradbury, Richard Matheson, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Sax Rohmer, Dashiell Hammett, Arthur Conan Doyle…who could say no to working with their creations? You’ll find them all and more in Other Sandboxes: Stories with Characters and Places Shared with Writers Living and Dead by F. Paul Wilson.
