A Splendid Chaos

by John Shirley

Zero is a young film maker who believes his whole life and career are mapped out before him. That is, until the night he and his friends are caught in a dazzling trap that spans worlds. Dropped onto a dreamlike planet whose surrealistic beauty cannot hide its grotesque reality. A world, so stunningly bizarre, nightmares are irrelevant. Here, abductees both human and alien are pitted against a never-ending succession of hellish parasites, carnivores, shape-changers, and symbiotes.
