Becca Moore has always felt like the outcast, a misfit adrift in a world that doesn’t quite understand her. But when she learns she’s one of the Chosen, fated to mend the fraying barrier between our reality and a realm teeming with demonic forces, her life is thrust into chaos.

Tim Lieder's anthology is an entertaining trip into the Outer Limits of the Twilight Zone. It is a place where a War Against Clowns is violently waged, a magician is taught magic by a scottish crab, a pretty lycanthrope unleashes her wild side in a London club, and a not so imaginary friend helps a shy young man get the girl. Sadly there are no cannibal teddy bears to be found in any of the stories. Maybe in the next anthology. --- Chadwick Saxelid
