"All you zombies--" five classic stories
"This collection includes five short stories sure to please science fiction fans everywhere. The title story tells the tale of a young man who meets a time-traveling bartender whose origins--and relation to the young man--are more complex and stranger than the Ouroboros ring on the barkeep's finger. In The Man Who Traveled in Elephants, we join a former traveling salesman on a bus. He and his wife had once traveled with a host of imaginary animals searching for places to sell elephants. "They--" takes listeners inside a mental institution, where a man suffering from delusions has been confined. In Our Fair City, a parking attendant, a sentient whirlwind, and a crusading reporter aim to take down their corrupt city government. Lastly, in "--And He Built a Crooked House," a clever architect designs a house in the shape of the shadow of a tesseract, but it collapses through the fourth dimension when an earthquake shakes it into a more stable form."
