Inversion iii - the lighter shades of greys is the third volume of author paul stansbury's inversion series. in these stories, you will again experience a world where the rules as you know them do not always apply. as you might guess from the title of this volume, the stories deal in some fashion with beings from other worlds. there may be one or two characters you will encounter whose origins may be in question, but take it from me, they are not from this neck of the woods. if you are looking for creepy alien abduction yarns, these stories are not for you. nor will you find cataclysmic invasions of vicious, flesh eating space monsters on the menu. as the subtitle for this volume indicates, these stories are on the lighter side perhaps even humorous. the beings you will encounter here are most certainly of a kinder, gentler variety, although not too sweet.
