About this item

by Walter Mosley (Author), John Jennings

The citizenry of America struggles for survival in a dangerous,
twisted future.

In this critically acclaimed collection of stores, noir
legend Walter Mosley takes his unique vision of American society into the
future. As the nation descends into chaos, its citizens wonder, is the world
ending, or has the apocalypse already come and gone?

In "Whispers in the Dark," an ex-con sells his
organs to ensure his brilliant nephew's future. The boy will grow up to have
the highest IQ ever recorded, but the uncle, who sold his eyes, won't be able
to see it. In "Voices," a history professor becomes addicted to a drug called
pulse, which gives him access to a world of vivid fantasy while tearing his brain
to shreds. By the time the professor qualifies for a brain transplant, he's no
longer sure what's real and what's imagined. And in "Angel's Island," a convict
in the world's largest private prison reveals the facility's chilling secrets
