<li>Both a love story and a mystery, I'll Meet You Yesterday is a beautiful tale of redemption set in a broken, near-future America. Lyrical and fresh, this novel explores memory, desire, and healing in an country torn apart by economic depression and environmental degradation, but held together by belief in the power of friendship.</li> <li>When the present is too harrowing to accept, the downcast escape into memories of the past. Barlow's future reads like a combination of William Gibson and Elmore Leonard.</li>

Dream of Rust and Glass is a speculative fiction and poetry collection featuring original work by Midwest writers. These men and women ask the question, "What if?" Their answers take us to strange, surprising, and surreal new worlds. What would life be like if the working class chose to take drugs to suppress their emotions? What if we went to space and came back to a world similar to our own but empty of everything and everyone we have ever known? What do blue skies look like filled with drones? What does a forest that grants everlasting immortality feel like? This book has the answers to these questions and many, many more.

Of Rust and Glass

From an Amazon review: "Tom Barlow's stories are quirky, sharply drawn, wildly varied, often funny and always deeply compassionate. His protagonists are almost always people who I would not ordinarily encounter (and some I would never dream of) and the window he offers into their inner lives makes even the strangest among them believable. The twists in his stories often have me flipping back to the beginning, thinking "should I have seen that coming?" Usually the answer is "yes, I should, because he threw out some clues..".but I got so absorbed in the characters and their stories that I didn't think to predict the ending."
