Canadian SF author Suzanne Church's cast of unique characters ask “What if?” in this whimsical collection of science fiction, fantasy, and horror short fiction. Androids, aliens, zombies, and humans – Church's unforgettable characters ponder upon such concepts as "Can humanity survive an ice age? Will the storm man steal Wanda's baby? When will Bob and Sebbee escape the relentless march of the Lost Circle? What is the cause of the taint in Faya's courted ice? If you can't escape hell, can you at least afford a trip on a teleporting couch?” These are but a few of the mind-twisting tales found in ELEMENTS, Suzanne Church's first collection of science fiction, mythic fantasy, and festering horror short fiction and features a suitable tale for every temperament. This collection includes 21 stories and an introduction by award winning author, editor, and poet, Sandra Kasturi.
