Slipstreams is an anthology of stories that cross genre lines, melding Science Fiction, fantasy, mystery, westerns, romance and horror,

Here we have a mountain man tackling an aggressive demon using Yellowstone park as a feeding ground, a butchers widow who encounters a dybbuk with a serial killer past, the last survivor of his race searches for a planet where he can replace what was lost, and Nick St. Clause becoming a PI, trying to find the killer of Jack Frost. These are only a fraction of the stories that tickle the imagination and truly can be called Speculative fiction.

This an ideal book for pocket or purse, to read on break, or pass the time in a waiting room. It is a well edited anthology with no room for boredom. - Pam Allan
