520 1 $a"This collection, which gathers one novella and seven stories written over an entire career, leaps across genres and millennia - from small-town America to the depths of space - exploring the dark corners of human nature in a style that recalls the nineteenth-century American masters." "The opening story, "O [Lamba]o[gamma]o[zeta], is a chilling account of the last days of the human race, as the hospitalization of a little girl in a New England town heralds a terrifying plague, transmitted not by a microbe but by a single word. The final story, "Apocalypse," returns to small town New England and another vision of the end, in an intimate a ccount of how a couple struggles to live and love under the shadow of the Earth's approaching doom."--BOOK JACKET.
