The rest of the stories appeared in such publications as On Spec, TransVersions, Prairie Fire, Northern Frights, Dark Planet, Descant, ChiZine, and the Tesseracts and Queer Fear anthology series.

“Certain to outrage snowboarders and pro-lifers of all stripes. Infantovores, however, will find a powerful and articulate advocate in Robert Boyczuk.”
—Peter Watts, author of some novels

“So that’s what you’ve been up to. I thought you were surfing for porn.”
—Karen Bridson, author of The Secrets of Skinny Chicks (and the author’s wife)
