These are Cain's darker days.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In this collection, Cain features stories from the Old West, of past lives and future days, the living and the dead, new and unique monsters as well as fresh takes on those of lore. Once more he tackles themes of loss and grief and the afterlife, always exploring the greater unknown. In \"The Sanguine Wars,\" Cain takes us to a future war where soldiers are made to endure the horrors of war. He explores the complexities of global warming and what lengths men and women alike sink to in \"The Reassignment Project.\" And, as often is the case, he ends on a lighter note, with \"Lenny's New Eyes\" and \"A Very Different Sort of Apocalypse.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e When the darkness comes, embrace it.
