About This Item
[New York]: HarperPrism, [1998]. First edition. A fine copy, unread. (29386). Octavo, pictorial wrappers. Trade paperback original. The author's first story collection with twelve stories, the title story was the 1995 Nebula Award winner for best novella, also included is "Prince of Flowers," her first published story. 1999 World Fantasy Award nominee for best collection. "What shines through nearly all of the 11 stories and one poem in this fine collection, besides the beautiful writing, are healthy doses of skepticism about the intrinsic goodness of both mystical phenomena and scientific progress." "Each story is appended by an afterword; pithy, but informative, they present an upbeat portrait of Hand's influences and explicate how some of the stories prefigured novels (Waking the Moon, etc.). Poignant and terrifying by turns, this collection isn't for the easily shocked, but it will satisfy readers who long for rich prose and deep, dark dreams." - Publisher's Weekly review 31 August, 1998. Hartwell, 200 Significant SF Books by Women, 1984-2001.
