Caution! Inflammable! by Thomas N. Scortia
20 short odd stories of fantasy, horror and dark speculations, shivery, and grotesque visions of the future. A towering vision of the future. Judas Fish: Is it true that "we are what we eat?" A man enjoys a rare delicacy-an unusual species of giant squid-and becomes one with their advanced communal intelligence. Woman's rib: Her was the perfect lover...after all, she planned him that way! The bomb in the bathtub: It was an obstinate nuke-with a penchant for wild gambling and singing popular songs. By the time I get to Phoenix: For the extraordinary woman he rescued from the desert, each act of love meant years off her life. Mortality: They feared him as a monster and kept him in a winding dungeon. Yet his superior intelligence gave them their power, their very existence.
