Summer in the City

"Scorching Sun heats concrete, glass, and steel nearly beyond human tolerances. The oppressive heat of Summer sits like a woolen shroud over the city, while the overextended air conditioners groan as they struggle to provide any small relief to the inhabitants. Hydrants are opened for neighborhood children to cool off, and many families escape to the beaches and countryside in the hope of an occasional breeze. But heat is not the only thing impacting humanity's comfort. Summer in the City: A Collection of Dark Speculative Fiction is the next anthology in Ruadán Books' "...In the City" series that takes place in different metropolises around the world during the hot, hazy, and lazy days of summer. The heat can bring out the worst in all of us"--
