Beasties, bad decisions, and socks. Nothing here goes the way you think it will—in the best possible way. One of many creature-filled tales in the Wee Beasties StoryBundle, curated by Kristine Kathryn Rusch.
About My Socks Rolled Down and Nine Other Stories
Ten very crazy stories from the prolific master of whacky stories. From fighting off an interdimensional invasion of millions of tiny fuzzy bugs to having a calm, but very cold conversation with a Banshee. From cats to the Devil to a talking oak tree, these ten stories keep you reading and shaking your head in amazement. And you might never look at socks the same way again.

Curator's Note
Only Dean Wesley Smith would make a pair of socks into some kind of wee beastie. The author of more than 200 books, Dean has a prodigious imagination, one that can encompass strange socks and even stranger aliens. If you’ve never read any of Dean’s stories before, this collection will show you why he has sold over 35 million copies of his books worldwide. – Kristine Kathryn Rusch
