PAUL McCOMAS / Unforgettable: Harrowing Futures, Horrors, and (Dark) Humor

From aliens to zombies, prehistoric monsters to monstrously
conceived tomorrows, this collection comprises Paul McComas’ fifty best
speculative-fiction, horror, and dark-comic works -- most never before
published. You’ll encounter “Nessie” and nuclear apocalypse, voodoo and
vampires, androids and ax murderers, death curses and dystopias,
soul-craving corporations and “Collies in Space” . . . plus ice worlds and
werewolves and eels, oh my! 

Ingenious, heartfelt, and always entertaining, these stories often
function as pithy political parables and scathing socio-cultural critique as
well. Unforgettable is the thinking person’s, the feeling person’s, and the
snickering person’s “genre book,” all in one—not to mention an eclectic,
audacious, ever-surprising celebration of the human imagination.

"McComas' fiction is punk, in a good way: frequently over the top, unafraid to be noisy and have a good time." - Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel

Paul McComas is the author of two novels -- Planet of the Dates,
optioned in Hollywood and currently in development as a feature film, and
Unplugged , one of the most critically acclaimed small-press novels of
2002 -- as well as a prior story collection, Twenty Questions. He’s also the editor of two short-fiction anthologies, First Person Imperfect and Further Persons Imperfect. A prize-winning educator and filmmaker, he is also a dynamic performer; the Chicago Reader  twice has bestowed its Critic’s Choice on McComas’ live shows, the Tribune calls his performance style “urgent and mesmerizing,” and the Sun-Times has  written, “No one is giving author readings as lively as his.” Born and raised in Milwaukee, Paul resides in Evanston, IL with wife and fellow fiction writer Heather and their just-adopted rescue greyhound, Sam.
