A first collection of short stories from C. C. BrowerIn addition to her longer novellas and novels, Brower started out with short stories. Contemporary, Fantasy, Science Fiction - 13 wonderful worlds from a different view of life. New ways to look at the world you live in, and ask yourself "what if" things were different...
