Contents


"Lucius Shepard is one of the foremost short story writers of his age, working across many genres. This collection is headed by the Hugo Award winning 'Barnacle Bill the Spacer', a science fiction that is both eerie and enchanting, forward looking and nostalgic. The six further works included demonstrate in spectacular fashion the breadth of Shepard's unique imagination, exploring the darkside where science fiction meets horror, where real life becomes nightmare.

"Like his earlier collection The Ends of the Earth , winner of the World Fantasy Award in 1992, Barnacle Bill The Spacer is a tour-de-force of imaginative fiction." [jacket blurb, UK pbk, 1997]
