Following the events of Sleeping Underwater, journalist-with-a-death-wish Tom Bradstreet finds himself irritatingly immortal. Languishing in Edmonton of all places, he drinks, takes in the occasional movie with his disagreeable upstairs neighbor, and drinks some more.The price of this idyllic life is occasionally taking an assignment from the British intelligence agency that keeps tabs on the supernatural. This time his subject is William S. Frankenstein. Formerly the famed Frankenstein monster, now a performance artist who seeks, with the assistance of the North Koreans, to punish the world that created him.Having long made peace with his status as a supporting character in other people's lives, Tom is alarmed, and not a little annoyed, to be thrust into the spotlight of this particular story.

Arise-Ye-Sons-Of-Israel Parker began life as a sensitive Quaker boy but came to manhood as Harry Parker; a killer, a thief, a reluctant poet and a drunken town Marshall.One summer night, drinking alone in the town saloon long after closing,Harry Parker is approached by a mysterious traveler, Mr. Dorian Gray. After the two talk over a drink, Harry is persuaded to share one of his poems. Gray shares something much more peculiar.When the sun rises, Mr. Gray is gone, and Harry's death has gone with him. He finds himself unkillable and feeling completely detached from the world.He also finds himself very much at odds with a sect of immortal religious zealots who offer the undying membership or a very real eternal torment-permanent crucifixion and isolation.
