In "The Dream Harvesters," new mother, Evie, tries to understand the legacy of violence that has shaped her, and finds that the question of "who" she is has taken a backseat to the question of "what" she is.
"Rated 'L' For Legacy" is another story about legacies – albeit, one with a much lighter touch! It's all about bridging the generation gap and treats you to a family outing, where Gramps goes hunting a Wendigo that monster hunting like everything else, changes with the times.
The Pushcart Prize nominated, "Nunavut Thunderfuck," is a story that takes a skewed, cynical and darkly hilarious look at the options that polar bears can consider as career choices as the resources in their natural habitat dwindle away.
"The Headmaster's Closet" is a morbid little trifle that take the notion of headmaster quite literally.
"Ladder of Ashes" is about ghosts and the decay of colonialism.
"Along Dominion Road" takes you to a world where dementia has reached plague-like dimensions.
"The Unravelling" is not just about losing your mind, but other horrors like growing old and becoming irrelevant.
Psychedelia Noir winds up with a special bonus story – a reprise of "Touching the Screams" a short story adapted from a chapter in the upcoming third novel in the Gods of the New Wilderness series.
