So You're Human

Here are eleven stories about human nature. Stories about the way we are, the way we wish we were, and the way we wish we weren't. A spirited blend of the humorous, the tragic, the satirical, the whimsical, and the romantic, So You're Human takes the reader on a whirlwind adventure through the range of human emotions. The ultimate terror, the deal of a lifetime, the battle for freedom-it's all here: what makes us tick. From tales of crime and greed, of corporate worship and rigid construction of societal norms, of despair, decay, and loss to those of self-determination and survival, of redemption, hope, and endless faith, these stories depict the all at once epic and mundane struggle of human endurance and definition. These stories offer and subsequently challenge what is considered the highs and lows of humanity, and reinforce the strength of the curious human spirit. Encompassing settings from the common backyard, to just around the corner, to a not-so-distant future, So You're Human traces the path of the hoi polloi and the elite, of the everyman and woman to that of the more extraordinary creatures of humanity's aspirations, while still enfolding the reminiscent and familiar. Spinning tales of devious temptresses, crazy clients, futuristic contraptions, and witchcraft lore, So You're Human is a lively concoction of stories comprising the best of classic and modern genres.
