Normality withers in this anthology, only to be reborn in grotesque form. The bleak life of a homeless woman is snuffed out through blind chance in "Zombies on Broadway," by Kaz, whose characters recall the hollow face and tortured body of the man in Edvard Munch's "The Scream." And woodcut figures ride the subway to self-immolation in the Village Voice's Mark Beyer's "The Unpleasant Subway...

On the first dive, the submersible, carrying J.J. down with it, approached the Titanic's 60-ft.-high starboard midsection. "That was the first thing we came in on," recalls Ballard. "We were putting our nose right up against this massive wall." Later, viewing the mangled remnants...
