  The themes that thread through these nine accomplished stories are drawn from the great tradition of the twentieth-century weird tale, and they are suffused with a distinctly cosmopolitan, European feel. Mark Samuels writes about the fundamental fears of modern life, especially the effects of isolation and the dislocation that city dwellers can experience in their inhospitable, man-made environment.

  In this story Ray Bradbury takes a hard look at insanity and shines an unblinking light on every culture and age on earth. Why do we lable someone crazy or insane? Because they don't fit in. But is it the insane who must be kept locked away, or is it simply the insane culture they live in that needs to be changed to fit them? Far in the future, humans have the possibility of fitting the delusional emperor Nero to a world that hails him as a god instead of locking him away. He is happy and sane and the world he is in is happy and sane. They match. In this story, Lisbeth, or rather Catherine, Queen of All Russia, stops being crazy and begins her rightful rule as the sanest person on that world.
