Foreword (Tesseracts Twelve: New Novellas of Canadian Fantastic Fiction) (2008) • essay by Brett Alexander Savory
The Story of the Woman and Her Dog / E.L. Chen: stories within stories. Parades. Some angry feminism.
Ringing in the Changes in Okotoks Alberta / Randy McCharles: town council does very strange things on the advice of a bitter witch (Wiccan style). Turns out the witch does have magical power - things go well for the members of the council that heed her.
Ancients of the Earth / Derryl Murphy: man finds mammoth in glacier. Magic is unleashed. Things get crazy way up north.Derryl Murphy,
Wylde's Kingdom / David Nickle: an international TV producer gets huge ratings having his star actor kill off the last of various endangered species with tanks, bombs. Permanent hurricanes are destroying the earth, violence, deranged near-end-of-world vision.
Wonjjang and the Madman of Pyongyang / Gord Sellar: comic book heroes battle each other and some idiotic bureaucracy. Some Korean jokes, culture
Intersections / Grace Seybold: two women have the unfortunate unstoppable compulsion to "bless" certain people to give them the opportunity to fall in love. Each time they do, someone dies. They cope with it in different ways. The two fall in love.
Beneath the Skin / Michael Skeet, Jill Snider Lum; Samurai detective tries to figure out why crops are failing. Spirits are involved. Japanese lore. Lots of drinking.
