Trees and Other Wonders: Collected Fiction
by Stephen CasePublish: May 08, 2013Science Fiction FantasyBook Overview
Trees grown to support the Moon. A hill that speaks. War in the halls of the gods. A buoyant palace. A woman who kills with a word. Also time travel, zombies, and a haunted spaceship. This volume collects ten of Stephen Case’s previously-published fantasy and science fiction short stories as well as two appearing here for the first time. From space opera (“The Glorious Rebellion”) to urban fantasy (“Barstone), from Lovecraftian horror (“Starlight, Her Sepulchre”) to science fantasy (“The Story of the Ship that Brought Us Here”)—this is literary and surrealist fiction at its best for fans of the likes of Neil Gaiman, Gene Wolfe, R. A. Lafferty, and Jorge Luis Borges.Table of contents:
