'The Riddling: that’s what Britons call the day that their world was pierced full of Holes. Mysterious portals to and from other planets, huge and tiny, appear everywhere, causing chaos. In this midst of this disaster, a father must struggle to help his family escape. In other stories: augmented reality collides with sordid fact; a snake-oil salesman runs from a nameless horror; two adventurous young men encounter the sole inhabitant of a frozen city; a golden tower conceals a mystery at its heart; and we experience a very different take on the walking dead. These are but a few of the fascinating short stories and pieces of flash fiction by David R. Grigg contained in this collection' (publication blurb).
