What happens to siblings when one turns out to be gay? Sometimes, nothing at all. Sometimes, extraordinary events ensue. Michael Scherperel's collection of 54 short stories, originally published in three volumes, includes tales from humor to romance, from drama to tragedy, and from sci-fi to fantasy. These tales include a caregiver who surprises himself with the services he offers, an elderly man who at the last possible moment of his life finds what he always wanted, a strange infection from a remote jungle, a plague where a surprising subgroup appears to have immunity, an alien lover, childhood best friends where death intervenes before they understand the nature of their love, a serial killer with the most bizarre motivation, and more.
