The steely coolness of humanity, the loneliness of the masses, and the comfort found in solitude. It blinds and reveals, hurts and heals. Brace yourself for what you’ll find on the other side of . . . Gleem.
Freddy Carrasco brings a new world to life in this collection of three stories ("Born Again," "Swing," and "Hard Body") that are science fiction, but not really.
