Produktbeschreibung

Finalist for the juried Sunburst Award, CBC Bookies Award, and the Aurora Award The first full collection of short fiction from the multi-award-winning Douglas Smith who is described by Library Journal as "One of Canada's most original writers of speculative fiction." Chimerascope contains sixteen of his best stories, including an Aurora Award winner, a Best New Horror selection, and eight Aurora finalists. Sixteen stories of fantasy and science fiction that take you from love in fourteenth-century Japan to humanity's last stand, from virtual reality to the end of reality, from alien drug addictions to a dinner where a man loses everything. "A massively enjoyable trek through the far-fetched, the horrifying, and the flat-out weird, all filtered through Smith's remarkable imagination and prodigious talent. ... Chimerascope is a sterling set, with nary a weak or disposable entry. Smith's writing, evocative yet understated, gracefully brings to life his imagined realms." -Quill and Quire, *Starred Review* "Showcases the inventive mind and immense storytelling talent of one of Canada's most original writers of speculative fiction. ...Smith writes with a keen eye for detail and atmosphere, crafting each story with wit and perception. ...will appeal to fans of such literary sf writers such as Jack Vance and Gene Wolfe." -Library Journal "A gifted writer in the genre of science-fiction. … Smith paints his worlds so well that you are transported within a paragraph or two and remain in transit until the short story ends." -Broken Pencil, The Magazine of Zine Culture and the Independent Arts "An entertaining selection of stories that deftly span multiple genres" - Publishers Weekly "[An] engaging and entertaining volume, pieces of whose content resonate after the book is finished." -Booklist
