First publication: Northern Frights 5, November 1999
Review
Very loosely based on Ballard’s Empire of the Sun, this story centers around an Asian meal called the Emperors Old Bones which is supposed to prolong life. I don’t feel the man’s motivations are clear or sensible which causes the story to be kind of weak.
