Carmen Miranda's Ghost is Haunting Space Station Three

She began as the daughter of struggling immigrants and became the embodiment of the fiery South American Spirit. She went on to take Hollywood by storm and became an immortal cultural icon. To this very day, her spirit lives — on Space Station Three!

Nineteen stories by nineteen authors, all based on one unforgettable image in a song by Leslie Fish: “Carmen Miranda’s Ghost is Haunting Space Station Three”. Stories range from horror to romance to satire to... just plain silly. This volume would be a cult classic, if only a fitting cult could be found.
