Fifteen tales set in modern, metropolitan locales, featuring a diverse cast of characters struggling to eke out an existence amid gleaming, opulent towers and sprawling cityscapes.

Employing a variety of genres, including dark fantasy, magic realism and crime fiction, author Cliff Burns takes readers on a guided tour through the fierce, pulsating heart of contemporary society.

Timely, unsparing and satirical, ELECTRIC CASTLES seeks to expose our basest motivations and lurking fears, while simultaneously refusing to resort to safe, reassuring resolutions or stale, familiar formulas.

This edition also includes an Introduction and notes on each story.
