Green. In this wide-ranging collection, the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e-bestselling urban fantasist opens doors into hidden places: strange realms bordering our own mundane existence and prowled by creatures of fancy and nightmare.

Take a stroll on the Darkside with a jaded street wizard, an underpaid government functionary responsible for keeping demons, vamps, and aliens in line. Enter the hidden recesses of Drood Hall, where the aging family member who creates powerful weapons that protect humankind recalls his long and bloody career. Join a squad of no-longer-human soldiers dispatched to combat the all-consuming jungle on a distant planet. Visit a house at the intesection of two realities that serves as a sanctuary from the evil of \u003ci\u003eall\u003c\/i\u003e worlds. Confront the unstoppable zombie army of General Kurtz in a brilliant homage to \u003ci\u003eApocalypse Now\u003c\/i\u003e.
