What are quantum leaps of imagination? - a collection of SF&F stories

"Tom writes about endings that are also transformations and redemptions, chances to change the past or future that are never insignificant...endings that hurts but feels right, as though the story could end no other way...It's the mark of a good storyteller that they can make you hold your breath in trepidation for a character, but continue reading on because you care whether or not they meet the fate you fear." - from the Foreword by Cat Rambo

What are quantum leaps of imagination?
 
a preacher with a zombie congregation, which includes his dead wife.
a xenoarchaeologist who uncovers the alien, ghostly echoes of a long buried catastrophe.
a lawyer sent to represent his imprisoned client, in a country with a cooperative society that has no laws.

These are just some of the stories in this collection of SF&F stories ranging from flash and short fiction, up to novelletes and the title piece novella. Most of these stories are science-fiction, a few are fantasy but they all explore worlds far and near, from the present to the far distant future.

And none of them will be quite what you expect.
