Soft and Others (1989) by F Paul Wilson

"F. Paul Wilson is among the finest storytellers of our time." (Rocky Mountain News)

Wilson's hard-to-find first collection of short fiction is available again - with bonus stories exclusive to this ebook edition.

"Biting themes...stinging tales...sharp social satire...the most clever is 'Cuts,' a voodoo tale; other standouts are 'Buckets' and 'Dat-tay-vao,' a powerful Vietnam war tale." (Kirkus Reviews)

"Reminiscent of TV's 'Twilight Zone,' Wilson offers clever twists. 'Soft' is vivid and viscerally wrenching...'Cuts' (has) an unguessable denouement." (Publishers Weekly)
