MINDWORKS An Uncanny Compendium of Short Fiction

Seven talented narrators deliver Shusterman's compelling science fiction stories, which include two new ones from the popular "Arc of the Scythe" series. The works provide introductions to new worlds and are loosely grouped into two categories: strange and terrifying beings and personal transformations. Shusterman; his son, Brendan; and the other narrators alternate, portraying males, females, and one genderfluid character, capturing the dark, surprising, and occasionally humorous aspects of their worlds. Some of the stories have been edited due to technological and social changes since their original publication. A full-cast interview serves as an enticing introduction to the production.
