Description
Robert Peate's fourth major work, *The Time before* (2018), is his fourth collection of short fiction. He still considers this collection his best, and not just because it is twice the size of his others. The inspiration came hot and heavy in stories such as his sequel to Jack London's *The Iron Heel*, his Lovecraftian horror story "Expedition Notebook", his science-fiction story "Sisters", based on the life of Nkechi "Rachel Dolezal" Diallo, "Shooting Day", in which gun-control advocates decide the only way to get America to care is to declare a national day of gun violence, and "The Fountain of Youth", in which telepathic twins fight a serial killer.
