A gator’s got Grandpa.\nGhosts wail, “Repent! Repent!”\nFrom the space beneath dreams, an ancient crow takes flight.\nBlood runs into gutters, as the angels descend for the harvest.\n\nA young woman, half-naked, half-drunk, can’t stop laughing.\n“Why is this funny?” her brother screams.\n“Oh hell,” she gasps. “Why isn’t it?”\n\nIn Map of the Drowned City award-winning author James Maxey joins with illustrator Kelsie Brumet to bring you tales of the monsters above us, beside us, and within us.\n\nIncludes the Phobos award winning story \"Empire of Dreams and Miracles.\"\nIncludes the Asimov's Readers' Award winning story \"Mere Flesh.\"\nIncludes \"Silent as Dust,\" and \"Clockwork Melting,\" both reprinted in Best of the Year Collections of fantasy and science fiction.\n\nTable of Contents\nDEVIANTS (Ten tales of freaks and weirdos)\nSILENT AS DUST\nFINAL FLIGHT OF THE BLUE BEE\nECHO OF THE EYE\nJOE’S SPIDER FARM\nMERCY IS FOR MORNING\nTHE JAGGED GATE\nPENTACLE ON HIS FOREHEAD, LIZARD ON HIS BREATH\nLIFE IN A MOMENT\nABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT IN CHROME\nPERHAPS THE SNAIL\n\nFALLEN (Ten stories about angels and devils)\nTO KNOW ALL THINGS THAT ARE IN THE EARTH\nRETURN TO SENDER\nWHERE THEIR WORM DIETH NOT\nLITTLE GUILT THING GOIN' ON\nSUZIE DURHAM, REAPER OF SOULS\nFALL OF BABYLON\nEATER\nANGEL HUNTED\nI WEAR DEVILS\n\nELSEWHEN (Ten science fiction and fantasy stories scattered across time and space)\nTO THE EAST A BRIGHT STAR\nMERE FLESH\nEMPIRE OF DREAMS AND MIRACLES\nANGST OF AN ATOMIC ANT\nTENDRILS\nGREATSHADOW: ORIGINS\nCHERRY RED ROCKET SHIP\nCLOCKWORK MELTING\nLONELY HILL\nCLACK CLACK CLACK!\nTHE MAP OF THE DROWNED CITY\n\nIllustrations by Kelsie Brumet\nDeviants Header (Detail from Joe’s Spider Farm)\nSilent as Dust\nJoe’s Spider Farm\nThe Jagged Gate\nLife in a Moment\nJagged Gate detail\nFallen Header (Detail from I Wear Devils)\nTo Know All Things That Are in the Earth\nWhere Their Worm Dieth Not\nFall of Babylon\nI Wear Devils\nElsewhen (Detail from Tendrils)\nTo the East, a Bright Star\nMere Flesh\nTendrils\nLonely Hill\nMap of the Drowned City cover detail\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0FH27PPGX\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0FH27PPGX.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Maxey, James|Brumet, Kelsie\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43337908256829,"sku":"BVV.B0FH27PPGX.VG","price":38.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/B0FH27PPGX-0.jpg?v=1783898576","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/map-of-the-drowned-city-thirty-dives-into-the-depths","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
