- Horror After Dark
"The setting is unlike any other space colony you've ever read about and I guarantee you will not be bored here."
- Don D'Ammassa, Critical Mass
"One of the weirdest yet most vividly rendered cities in the genre, a gritty melting pot of desire and despair, of the grotesque and the sublime, of love and dread."

Description
NINE TALES OF THE DARK CITY KNOWN AS PUNKTOWN
Monsters, mutants and maniacs...here, they call them citizens.
In the opening story, "In His Sights," shape-shifting war veteran Jeremy Stake (protagonist of Thomas' novels DEADSTOCK and BLUE WAR) is reminded of the last enemy soldier he killed, every time he looks in the mirror...while the concluding story, "Life Work" (Thomas' first novella-length Punktown story), follows a young businesswoman with a secret past and a syndicate hit man with no future. Between these tales one will encounter a wide and wild variety of the lost souls, both human and other-than-human, that haunt the streets of Punktown.
