What happens when hitchhikers conspire to find a missing black box? Surfers wipe out in a parallel Jim Crow universe? An L.A. courier travels to white suburbia for an alternative fuel source? A coffee shop Noah loads up her ark with humans? An infant apparition speaks its truth from a busted skateboard? A court martialed soldier confronts his demons? And two drifters misremember their shared past? In this eleven-story speculative fiction collection incorporating elements of sci fi and horror, author Sikivu Hutchinson explores the enigma of time, death, sleep, road trips, and betrayal on the liminal highways of the mind.
