the massively magnificent archive here at Casa Tipple and Home Eatery Library
in my little part of NE Dallas….
Barb Goffman Presents:
Restoration by Art Taylor imagines a
world where, for a fee, a loved one can be duplicated as a sort of insurance
against the worst. By buying a policy, one could ensure that in the case of an
unexpected death due to a car accident, plane crash, or some other unpredicted
traumatic event, a clone of sorts would be created to take the place of the
recently departed loved one. The slick brochure calls it “victim replacement””
and the husband is proving to be a hard sell though the wife seems to be
interested.
So begins the tale which originally
was published in Crime Syndicate Magazine: Issue 1 comes
to life here as part of the Barb Goffman Presents series
published by Wildside books. The tale was a good one back when it first
appeared and is still a good one now five years later.

While I picked this up a few weeks ago when it was offered for free at Wildside Press, it does not come up there anymore and seems to only be available at Amazon.

This does sound very good, Kevin. I purchased a copy at Amazon via your link.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it. Hope you do too. By the way, when I was setting this up, I discovered Barb has a bunch of these featuring different authors. More than a dozen. Might be worth checking out.
