Brutish with the soul of a poet; violent, but with the heart of a protective shepherd. This is not the one dimensional Polyphemus from the Odyssey, but a brilliant, mad, tragic, and darkly humorous being who embodies the best and worst of men and monsters. Enter the world of Polyphemus. The son of a god and nymph, despised and cast off by his parents, and feared by all others. Enter a world of magical realism, where dreams and reality merge, where destiny is bent by the fates and gods, and at the center of it all is the anti-hero for the ages - the cyclops, Polyphemus.

Michael Shea (1946-2014) was one of the finest American authors of speculative fiction of modern times, and Polyphemus (1987), originally published as a limited edition hardcover by Arkham House, features the best of his short fiction, in which he deftly blends the genres of horror, fantasy, and science fiction. A landmark collection of modern speculative fiction returns at long last in this edition.

When lead vocalist of Polyphemus Stephen Oaks' near-fatal onstage overdose leaves them under pressure from their label, the band's remaining members must find a new vocalist, pick up the pieces, and forge on without him. Unfortunately, he's fresh from rehab and desperate to reunite with his old band. In fact he's so desperate that he'll bargain with dark forces and sacrifice everything—and anyone!

New medications can unknowingly cause adverse effects that prompt new diagnoses and new prescriptions to manage those adverse effects. What the patient is left with is a vicious cycle called the prescribing cascade that leads to more medication, worsening health, and a feeling of helplessness that they will be taking several medications for the rest of their life. I designed this book to help healthcare professionals identify the prescribing cascade and the collateral damage that can result on account of polypharmacy.
