Extraterrestrial colonies with otherworldly secrets. A science-themed art installation about to go nova. A computer shop with a truly hellish customer. These tales show a deeply personal side to the fantastic worlds they imagine, whether it's the struggle of a troubled teen roped into an ages-old battle between light and dark or the loneliness of a grieving rabbi in outer space.

Arlene F. Marks, multi-genre novelist published for more than thirty years, shares eleven stories of wonder, beauty, and terror in this collection. Get ready, it's time to go on a magical ride and meet some extraordinary friends... and foes.

      Aliens, superheroes, witches, explorers, farmers, and troubled children all count among the cast of Marks' Imaginary Friends. The worlds and stories she touches on in this collection are vast and amazing. Whether the stories are previously published, connected to the universes of her novels, or wholly original, there is something for everyone who appreciates sf, dark humor, or captivating characters. "Comfort Food," featuring a mysterious, alien bakery, a boy struggling with the loss of his mother and caring for his younger brother, and the best cookies you'll ever eat is a particular standout. Some readers may be more interested in the girl with powers from an alien symbiote of light, the odd couple of ancient energy vampires engaging in college-campus shenanigans, or the woman whose detective practice is aided greatly by her ability to double back in time. Set in the modern world, the far future, or alternate places yet to be discovered, Marks' tales introduce readers to her guides and creations. To paraphrase her introduction, enjoy the trip and find a friend.
