Easton Press, Norwalk CT. 2006 George Zebrowski "Black Pockets, and Other Dark Thoughts" Signed Limited Edition of only 900 signed and numbered copies, this being number 215.

Douglas Winter wrote in his introduction to the seminal horror anthology Prime Evil that "Horror is not a genre, like the mystery or science fiction or the Western . . . Horror is an emotion." I think that is what George Zebrowski (Macrolife) is trying to get across in Black Pockets and Other Dark Thoughts. These nineteen stories (primarily science fiction or fantasy tales with horrific elements -- not full-blown terror tales) are divided into three sections: "Personal Terrors," "Political Horrors," and "Metaphysical Fears" -- intended to showcase frights on different levels, always with startling effectiveness. Take this passage from "The Wish in the Fear":
