Raconteur Press is publishing another anthology this week. This time it is about the crazy hi-jinks involved in mad science. But while you’re waiting for that to come out, you may want to check out From the Brim to the Dregs. That is an anthology filled with the crazy hi-jinks involved with fermented or non-fermented drinks of a dubious and sometimes special nature. These are not necessarily stories about getting drunk, though some drinking is involved.

Now I do have a story in there, which is my reason for pimping it, and it involves a drink that shows a man the future. Assuming a man can remain sane while seeing multiple possible futures at once, that can give him a powerful advantage. What would you do if you could see the future? Would you go to the horse races and place a bet on the winning horse? Start a fight to see your opponent’s moves before they move? Or would you try to talk a pretty girl into letting you kiss her? The possibilities are endless. What would you do if they were all laid out before your eyes?
