Unlikely Heroes, Strange Places

Writers Michael Angel and J.D. Cutler have explored some delightfully strange places, ranging from plague-ravaged East Africa to the galaxy's best chowder house, with a side stop at the men's room in the Vatican.

And they've queued up ten (okay, eleven) stories of suspenseful, speculative fiction for you.

Uncover the painful, bruise-covered truth of how Shakespeare became literature's leading light. Tag along as an investigative reporter hunts down a mysterious figure that's able to predict the future. And tune into Texas station KRAP (don't touch that dial, there's KRAP on it!) as a pair of down-home country DJs try their damnedest to stop a murder...while they're still on the air.
