Good intentions aren't everything. Sometimes things don't quite go the
way you planned. And sometimes you don't plan. . . . This collection of
sixteen stories (and one lonely poem) chart the many ways trouble can
ensue. No actual human beings were harmed in the creation of this book.
Stories from Eileen Gunn are always a cause for celebration. Where will
she lead us? Up the Fire Road to a slightly alternate world. Four
stories into steampunk's heart. Into a very strange family gathering as
they celebrate Christmas. Into the golem's heart. Never where we might
expect.
