Ghosts of Yesterday is a stunning new collection by multiple-award-winning author Jack Cady.

Going well beyond the scope of his UK collection from several years ago, this is the definitive collection of Smith’s shorter fiction, as well as his long overdue first US collection. More Tomorrow & Other Stories features 30 of the author’s best stories, plus an introduction by award-winning editor Stephen Jones and an afterword by Michael Marshall Smith.

Wraparound cover art by John Picacio.
