Virgo Out Loud features a powerful collection of unabridged fiction, most of which is published here for the first time in any form, including: a chilling and prophetic tale from an ex-Communist official in post-Tito Yugoslavia; a novella set in Ireland fifty years after the creation of the Free State, but not too late for revenge; the mythical tale of a shark-man in the Solomon Islands; and the lyrical death-dream of a boy thrown from a bolting horse in southwestern Ontario.
