Description:
New York: The Vanguard Press, Inc., [1977]. First edition. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. (1679). Octavo, cloth. "Eighteen stories first published in mainstream literary journals, all remarkable for their psychologically acute explorations of the dark side of ordinary experience ... Oates rivals Flannery O'Connor in her ability to bring grotesque characters vividly to life, and Shirley Jackson in her skill at evoking the perversity of everyday human nature. The stories in NIGHT-SIDE are provocative and haunting for their depiction of characters for whom alienation and solipsism are an unavoidable response to life." - Barron (ed), Fantasy and Horror (1999) 6-291.

The author's first adult novel and winner of the World Fantasy Award for best novel 2011. Also winner of the Carl Brandon Kindred Award "for outstanding work of speculative fiction dealing with race and ethnicity." Set in a post-apocalyptic future in the Sudan. "To compare author Nnedi Okorafor to the late Octavia E. Butler would be easy to do, but this simple comparison should not detract from Okorafor's unique storytelling gift. Who Fears Death is a post-apocalyptic parable that teaches lessons on how ignorance, apathy, and prejudice can kill, but how truth and knowledge are the keys to life." - Zetta Brown, The New York Journal of Books (online).
