Shelley is disgusted and disenchanted, with the world in general and her existence in particular, until an encounter with an alien entity. The creature strikes her as her ticket out, a way to get to, if not a better place, than at least another place. But, as her much put-upon pal Beep warns, is Shelley actually communicating telepathically with the alien, or, as usual, just talking to herself?PRAISE FOR AFTER PIE: AFTER PIE is a rollicking, freewheeling, hilarious, and suspenseful adventure that ranks up there with Stefan Petrucha’s best work.
