<DIV>In this masterful collection of horror stories, George Zebrowski divides these nineteen tales into personal, political, and metaphysical terrors&mdash;stories to scare you individually, stories to frighten you as a social animal, and stories that should terrify the entire human race.<BR /><BR /> In &ldquo;I Walked with Fidel,&rdquo; a young man encounters a once politically powerful zombie; &ldquo;Jumper&rdquo; focuses on a young woman with a dark and troubled past, while in &ldquo;The Coming of Christ the Joker,&rdquo; the lighthearted banter of a celebrity TV talk show becomes something far more serious. &ldquo;A Piano Full of Dead Spiders&rdquo; is an eerie story of genius, its demands, and its delusions; in &ldquo;Passing Nights,&rdquo; the truth behind a recurring nightmare is revealed; &ldquo;The Soft Terrible Music&rdquo; depicts a man who must hide his past even from himself. And in the title story, the novella &ldquo;Black Pockets,&rdquo; Zebrowski asks: What happens to a man when his desire for revenge becomes all-consuming?<BR /><BR /> With an introduction by Howard Waldrop and an afterword by the author, George Zebrowski reveals himself in&#160;<I>Black Pockets and Other Dark Thoughts</I>&#160;as a writer who can play on our more disturbing emotions even as he impels us to deeper thoughts.</DIV>
