  Time Pussy by Isaac Asimov - Four-dimensional cats? Who ever heard of such a thing? Old Mac had seen these Time Pussies with his own eyes! 
  This was told me long ago by old Mac, who lived in a shack just over the hill from my old house. He had been a mining prospector out in the old asteroids during the Rush of '37, and spent most of his time now in feeding his 7 cats. 
  "What makes you like cats so much, Mr Mac?" I asked him. 
  The old miner looked at me and scratched his chin. "Well," he said, "they reminds me o' me beetle pets on Pallas. They was something like cats—same kind of head, sort o'—and the cleverest leetle fellers y' ever saw. All dead!"

  A compelling call for compassion and resilience in the maw of social dissolution from literary legend James Sallis, master of many genres and Nebula, Edgar, and Shamus–nominated author of Drive 
    
  All I wanted was for my life, when you picked it up in your hands, to have some weight to it. 
    
  In a not-so-distant future the United States has fragmented, balkanizing into unstable provinces often at war with one another, and Americans, their great promise not so much lost as forfeited, are encountering the terrors and devastation so much of the world daily lives with. Throughout a land littered with refugees, ruins, orphaned children, soldiers, militia, and fugitives, people go on about their daily lives as best they can. 
    
  The five linked stories of World’s Edge track the false starts and stall-outs of a nation and civilization trying to rise again, to rebuild, and of individuals caught up in that rebirthing. As ever, the only true history lies in the story of individual lives, in the old rag and bone shop of our hearts.

  You can call me the spirit of hot flashes, fangs, and vengeance. 
   
  Just before Christmas my life underwent a major change. And I’m not talking about the fact I hit menopause hard—I mean, we're talking night sweats and hormones gone wild. Nope, it was worse than that. I almost died, and would have actually been six feet under if I'd not been transformed into a vampire. 
   
  You heard me right. At the ripe age of forty-seven, I became a blood-guzzling, sunlight-hating, fanged menace with an insatiable appetite. 
   
  Thankfully, criminals taste delicious. 
   
  But the wicked aren't the only people I'm nibbling on this holiday season. When I'm not taking a literal bite out of crime, you will find me unwrapping the handsome vampire who gave me the best present of all. 
   
  Love. 
   
  Contains mature themes.
