Publisher's Summary

Traffic is piling up, and strange things are headed your way in this new story collection by World Fantasy Award-winning author Tobias S. Buckell. In these twenty-four stories you’ll find inhabitants of a small town who won’t vaccinate against a zombie plague, a lone sentry keeping motorists from stumbling into something ancient and evil, a man who puts stranded ghosts to rest, an ex-soldier traveling the seas who trades his new life of hardship for a return to swords and blood, and many more tales of speculative fiction.

Buckell’s fertile imagination is on display in Shoggoths in Traffic and Other Stories as he comments on edgy issues of injustice and offers a thorny path to discover the human heart and all the strange things humans do. All the while, he keeps you looking over your shoulder, waiting for rush hour to end.

A fantastic collection of stories by a master author.

Tobias Buckell is a versatile master short fiction author and this collection shows a great array of that versatility. The narration had a mixed result for me. William DeMeritt is one of my favourite narrators and most of the others were excellent. However, one narrator’s cadence pulled me out of every story they narrated. Thankfully, there were many other stories and narrators and the combination of Tobias Buckell and William DeMeritt alone made this a great experience!
