Pallbearer and Other Tales of Glorious Contagions

These are stories for our times: Plagues, body possession, the collapse of civil order, followed by the beginnings of new, improved civilizations. This is a collection of similar-theme works by Robert Reed. Many of these works haven't been available for decades. Too grim for some tastes, but a certain kind of reader who knows the news and nurses reasonable fears should find quite of a lot of interest in this book-length collection.

The stories included are:

Daily Reports
A Change of Mind
A Man of Modest Means
Character Flu
The Days of Hamelin
Dimensions of the Deed
Euphoria
Guide-Dance
HETERO3
Chaff
Pernicious Romance
Rwanda
To Know Each Other All the Better
Pallbearer
Will He
