内容简介：
Due to serious lung disease, I had to quit smoking in 1998. These 16 stories are what poured out the first couple of years I fought nicotine cravings. I used writing as a therapeutic tool. "The Bamboo Thicket" in its original form is a story I wrote and later rewrote with Eric S. Brown and we published as Katie. "Slow Suicide" is my first published story in the horror genre.
