Dark Visions

As a general rule, Schmitz wrote stories which were basically lighthearted, and often humorous. Every single story in his Hub universe, or the Agent of Vega stories, or his novel Witches of Karres—in short, his best known work—is of that nature. Whatever perils and dangers his heroes (or, more often, heroines) experience, the ending is always what can be called a "happy" one. Most of the stories are cheerful in tone, and even the ones which have a sterner theme (such as "Attitudes") still display an optimistic confidence that The Right Will Prevail.

But he did occasionally write stories with a much darker hue. Some of them, such as "We Don't Want Any Trouble," are downright chilling. We've collected these in one place, and given this section of the volume the title "Dark Visions." It seems an appropriate one. . . .

Tales of alien invasions that succeed, a psi story that is also a horror story, a cold look at the real likelihood of a man changing his life if he had the chance, and a grim tale of an experiment gone wrong.

Have fun.
