Filtered Future and Other Dark Tales of Science Fiction and Horror (edition 2012)

"...As the title of the book states, the stories range in genre from science fiction to horror, with some elements of dark fantasy thrown into the mix as well...If I had to rank the stories in order of which one I liked best to which one I liked the least, it'd be: What Do They Do While We Sleep?; The Lady Loves Dancing; Filtered Future; Washed in the Blood; Strange Children; The Creation Proclamation; The Land of Oz; I Have No TV, and I Must Watch; and lastly, Wormboy...Weiss's stories, as I mentioned earlier, are very off-beat and quirky, and often rather dark, like a 21st century Edgar Allan Poe. At some points they're absurd enough that I would say his writing is kind of borderline Bizarro, but if you're paying attention, they also all have some quite strong poignant moments..."
