The Secret History of the World - a history of humanity that remains undiscovered, unexplored, and unknown. Some of this Secret History has been revealed in the Adversary Cycle, some in the Repairman Jack novels, and bits and pieces in other, seemingly unconnected works. Taken together, even these millions of words barely scratch the surface of what has been going on behind the scenes, hidden from the workaday world. In Secret Stories F. Paul Wilson has gathered some of the shorter pieces of the Secret History and placed them for convenience between a single set of covers. He's left out the pieces available as stand-alones (like "The Compendium of Srem") or collected in Quick Fixes, and has concentrated instead on those published in scattered collections and anthologies over the years. To each story Wilson has added commentary as to how it earned its place in the Secret History.
