Title: McSweeney's Mammoth Treasury of Thrilling Tales Author: Michael Chabon File Type: Mobi Subject:Short Stories Description:From Publishers WeeklyPulitzer Prize-winning novelist Chabon teams up with the editors of Dave Eggerss McSweeneys magazine to create a fiction anthology with an innovative, simple concept: the stories are driven by adventurous plots and narrative action, in contrast to the current trend toward stories that are plotless and sparkling with epiphanic dew, as Chabon writes in his introduction. The roster includes such heavyweights as Michael Crichton, Stephen King, Elmore Leonard, Nick Hornby and Harlan Ellison. As the retro title might suggest, the collection is heavy on sci-fi and detective stories, often updated with contemporary twists. Crichton offers a detective yarn called Blood Doesnt Come Out, in which a disgruntled PI takes out his frustration on his wife in a cheeky spin on the domestic violence that punctuates the pulp fiction of Jim Thompson and James A. Cain. Hornbys contribution is an entertaining sci-fi story called Otherwise Pandemonium, about a man who buys a VCR that fast-forwards into an apocalyptic future. In Rick Moodys The Albertine Notes, a debilitating drug called Albertine wreaks havoc by sending users back in time to relive their memories. Dave Eggerss Up the Mountain Coming Down Slowly is a thoughtful story in which a woman climbs Kilimanjaro to bolster her self-confidence after experiencing a personal crisis, but proves oblivious to the deaths of three porters when the weather on the mountain turns ugly. Half a dozen or so stories are markedly slight, but overall this is a strong collection. 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.
