Bright Moment and Others
In these twenty-four stories, Daniel Marcus ranges from the distant past to the end of time itself, from contemporary fantasy to space opera, as his characters—saints and scoundrels, sinners and seekers—navigate the treacherous passages of the human heart. Sometimes funny, sometimes dark and edgy, these stories showcase Marcus’s original voice and scrupulous attention to detail, crafting worlds that are both alien and achingly familiar.
With an introduction by Nebula, Philip K. Dick, and World Fantasy Award-winning author, Pat Murphy.

A Crack in Everything
In Marcus's capable hands, the sandy stretch of shore between Lewes and Bethany Beach becomes a halfway point between the living and the dead, humans and gods, magic and the lack of it, in which categories normally kept apart commingle in unexpected ways that bring the cosmic down to earth and raise the mundane to the heavens.
