Back cover text: Take a trip around the dark dial with eleven original and thought-provoking short stories that invoke the wonder and mystery of old- time radio dramas. Forget all that you know
about modern sci-fi. AROUND THE DARK DIAL
it's all about the unexpected. "Around the Dark Dial is a good old-fashioned science fiction, full of twists and surprises and the sense of wonder, but leavened with modern sensibilities — there's a lot to recommend here, with stories ranging from the present day to the far future, from the promise of new technology to the
dystopic future we all dread."
— David Wellington, author of The Last Astronaut
