Incident at Lonely Rocks — Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Oscar cleans portable toilets for a living. He loves the job -- it takes him to beautiful isolated places, like the Lonely Rocks Wayside on the Oregon Coast. Nothing really grosses him out either -- until he discovers the body, slashed to death, with a knife still in the chest. Then he sees a break in the guard rail above the ocean, a second car, a ruined bicycle, and Oscar realizes his troubles have just begun.


Like early Ray Bradbury, Rusch has the ability to switch on a universal dark.
