Last summer before starting college, I rescued a girl held hostage in another world by a demon. The consequences of defeating that demon ended up bigger than I ever could have imagined... My mentor died getting us out of there. My magic brands me as a reality terrorist to be interrogated and killed. I have to keep my head down and blend in as a normal first-year dorm student with attracting any attention...While keeping an eye on the traumatized girl I brought into this hostile situation. And still preventing spirits and demons from encroaching into this world uninvited. Oh, and the other summoners still hate my guts too. Without my mentor, can I keep myself-or anyone else-safe in this aggressive environment? Is there anybody around me I can trust to have my back? Or are they the ones most likely to stab a knife into it?

In that other world, I found a mysterious girl. Her life had been stolen to power a demon''s magic.And I left her behind, bound to that demon.Now nothing else matters to me.Not my graduation.Not Grace''s excuses or the politics of summoners.Not my friends, and not my foster family.I abandoned her, leaving her enslaved.I will burn everything to fix that.

In the throes of a convention full of geeks, Frog Jones told a story.That story is found in this book's foreword, but the key line from the story became the title of this anthology. The authors seized upon that line, much like an out-of-control bovine seizing its own halter, and stampeded into the volume you see before you.This is not just a comedy anthology. Nor is it horror, or romance, or literary, or…well, any one thing. Rather, it is all those things. Each story starts exactly in the same place. But each author immediately leaps from there into their own world. This anthology celebrates the creativity of these authors, because it does not shackle them to a theme. The starting line is the same-the finish line is on other planets, in other times, and in alternate realities. You're not going to feel cohesiveness reading this thing. It's not going to be several stories hitting the same note. But you are going to experience a wider panoply of stories than you would in other anthologies. And as to what you make of them, or what stories they may inspire in you? Well…that's your cow.
