For a very different sort of history, next month S. N. Dyer will bring us back to the San Francisco scene of the late 1960s. "Sunrise Blues" examines the fate of a band that once was very popular, and considers whether rock 'n' roll and the undead go together well.

What will 2001 bring? Adventures, capers, yarns, and tales from old contributors and new, among them Amy Sterling Casil, Richard Chwedyk, Carol Emshwiller, Nancy Etchemendy, Harvey Jacobs, and Robert Reed.
