There's a series? Cool - more books to find! Any pointers to good web sites?
http://www.strangewords.com/archive/eightworlds.html has the background (and
SPOILERS), but isn't terribly detailed.
I read the one described above in a collection (something like "top 50 SF
stories of the century"). It was one of the more memorable ones in the
collection, although the ending felt a little flat.
