Ferries of the Salish Sea delivers Jeremy Finn's fourth compilation of short stories to date. Keeping with the public transportation theme for his collections, Ferries plays on the idea of boats that connect people to a variety of different islands all with their own local culture and stories. This edition contains more of his characteristic sci-fi/fantasy stories with a twist as well as a couple experimental diversions into unusual genres. Also included is the fourth puzzle story he has published. This one explores the origins of the legend of the sphinx while challenging you to a set of uncharacteristic riddles whose solving holds the world's future in the balance. So, buy your ticket for the ferry and hop on board and you will soon meet a hairy beast that lives beneath the waves, discover what a post-apocalyptic world would be like three feet and below, understand why 32 can be a very powerful number, and witness the earth's sundering.
