Introduction by James P. Blaylock. Dust jacket by Phil Parks.
"Collected here at last is all of Tim Powers' short fiction. Though known as a novelist, Powers has over the years written some powerful short stories -- here are "Night Moves" and (written in collaboration with James P. Blaylock) "The Better Boy," both finalists for the World Fantasy Award; here too is "Where They Are Hid," previously available only in an expensive limited edition, now out of print. In his short stories Powers explores the same kind of territory as he does in his novels -- in these pages you'll find the wildly inventive plots, the fascinating characters, and the vivid intrusion of the supernatural into the real world , that have earned Powers an enthusiastic readership in a dozen countries. The Subterranean Press edition -- the only edition under contract -- features a very personal introduction by James P. Blaylock, full-color dust jacket art by Phil Parks, and an exlusive story notes section by the author. The lettered edition will be truly unique: Each copy will be bound in leather and premium cloth and protected by a handcrafted traycase which will house an additional hardcover volume of unpublished material by Tim Powers, not available anywhere else!"
