<p>ABSTRACT</p>
<p><em> The Familiars and Other Stories</em> spans other times and other worlds: Michigan Territory during the War of 1812, Seleucid Palestine, feudal Japan, and a hidden world of horror in the contemporary Western United States. The protagonists vary as much as the settings, each character passionate and flawed in his or her own fashion. This collection reflects Ewan Cummins’s broad and varied interests in popular genre fiction, including fantasy, historical fiction, and horror.</p>
