A collection of six dark-humored, science-fiction/horror stories. The Rackon is a salvage ship for hire, owned by the strange and possibly mad Milk Muffin, and maintained by the cybernetically enhanced Colace. Country Kitchen joins the crew to test her abilities as a navigator, but the road ahead is marred by Other Things that seep in from the shadowy corners of space. Deadly technologies dance at the edge of mankind's knowledge. Fear-eating space dragons drift through the cosmos. Psychic parasites leech away at Country's inner child. The Rackon is a magnet for ancient terrors that have crossed the barriers of eternity, and Country and Colace face their biggest challenge in trying to keep their captain sane. Will ghosts of the past come back to haunt them?
