Publisher's Synopsis

- A taxi driver opens his door to strangers all the time, but on this particular night his fare is 'something' from his own past, wearing the mask of a stranger.
- Five unrelated people converge upon a café at the worst possible time, with dire consequences for the rest of the world.
- The stone angel is hauntingly beautiful, but its new owner is oblivious to what is concealed in the hand curled over its heart.
- Mia is a chef on a starship with a crew that numbers in the thousands. When she awakens to find the crew has vanished, she must find a way to survive.
Eighteen stories to open portals into alternate realities, where the mystical and the magical exist right alongside the mundane - much as they do in our own world - if only we could deepen our perception and see what lies just behind the flimsy veil of illusion.
