One of the great sci-fi writers of the last twenty years offers a new collection of stories spanning the 1990s, including some of his most controversial work to date, in works that deal with a couple living near hell, an invasion, genetically altered animals, a powerful witch, space travelers, ghouls, and living toys. Reprint. 10,000 first printing.
Gene Wolfe is producing the most significant body of short fiction of any living writer in the SF genre. It has been ten years since the last major Wolfe collection, so Strange Travelers contains a whole decade of achievement. Some of these stories were award nominees, some were controversial, but each is unique and beautifully written.
