The stories in F. Brett Cox's debut collection move through multiple genres and many times and places, from the monsters of the 19th century to the future fields of war, from New England to the South to the American West, from the strange house at the top of the hill to the bottom of your childhood swimming pool. But whatever the time and place, and whether utterly fantastic or all too real, all of these remarkable fictions pose the fundamental question: what's next? The End of All Our Exploring features 27 stories, and it also includes Cox's unique historical notes.

"As T.S. Eliot's enlightened twin brother once put it, 'We shall not cease from savoring the stories of F. Brett Cox.' " --James Morrow, author of Galápagos Regained

"The stories in The End of All Our Exploring will make you laugh and shudder and shake your head at the absurd and marvelous things we humans do." --James Patrick Kelly, winner of the Hugo & Nebula Awards
