Without Absolution: Science Fiction Stories

by Amy Sterling Casil, James P. Blaylock (Introduction)

What if ... not so long from now, outlaw body artists could make you look any way you wanted? A new disease causes birth defects unlike any the world has ever seen and your job is to take care of these kids, including the boy with three eyes.... A father clones himself for companionship, only to learn he is dying of cancer and his cloned son is the perfect donor ... A lonely man uploads the personalities of his mother and his ex-wife into his computer, and they merge into a single, horrifying motherwife ...

"Without Absolution" is the first collection from science fiction and fantasy writer Amy Sterling Casil--nine stories and four poems by the only four-time finalist and one-time winner of the Writers of the Future Contest and frequent writer for The Magazine of Fantasty & Science Fiction. These visions take you from a far future Arles, France to the starred Mulholland night.
