The enigma of Yoshimasa's masked secret reveals itself at last in the surprise conclusion of Masashi Tanaka's "Demon," while paranoia -- or is it simply paranoia? -- runs rampant in the all-new Michael Cherkas, Larry Hancock, John van Bruggen "Suburban Nightmares" story, "Secrets." Rick Geary reminisces about days gone by in "Great Bend," Phil Elliott and Lloyd Thatcher take a macabre seaside vacation in "Post-Apocalypse," and Nicole Hollander's "Sylvia" turns a trained eye on felines throughout history. Those with tastes toward the satiric will appreciate the long-awaited return of Doug Wheeler's "Classics Desecrated," as Linda Medley renders the most recent desecration -- "The Wolf Who Cried `Sheep!'" Painted cover by Stan Shaw. Story Titles Sylvia Demon Chapter 5Post-Apocalypse Return to Great Bend Suburban Nightmares: Secrets Chapter 3Classics Desecrated: Aesop's The Wolf Who Cried "Sheep!"
