Collects two novellas: "The Plastic Abyss" which was nominated for the 1971 Nebula Award for Best Novella, and "Stranger in the House." Enter Kate Wilhelm's realm of extrasensory perception, alternate universes, alien monsters, and something else, something much more strange—the abyss that lurks near each of us, ready to destroy us, or set us free.
This book is part of the Short Story Collections series and is book #2 in the series.
