Forty-eight compositions in all, comprising twenty-six previously published and twenty-two original pieces written specially for this book.Complementing the written word are a series of full page illustrations commissioned by the author from artist Elena Betti; thirty-five stunning images that enhance the reading experience.'Through the prism of sharp speculative fiction, the darkest hues of our world are revealed, reflected, refracted into a myriad of brilliant shards. Each piece dazzles, cutting quick and deep. Absolutely unforgettable.' - Lisa L. Hannett, award-winning author of Songs for Dark Seasons'Such energy, boldness, and unexpected leaps and turns; whether going at a cracking pace or pausing reflectively, the fiction in this quirky work is vibrant and engaging. As a multi-media work, it is page-turning and confronting. Powerful stuff.' - Dominique Hecq, award-winning poet, novelist, short story writer
