Clay Feet

By Kristine Kathryn Rusch

For the last decade, Harper tried to get a statue of Mercury to feature in the museum’s new antiquities department. Now the statue has arrived—broken—and possibly a forgery. Her boss calls the statue the ultimate forgery. He’s impressed. She wonders if she should be too—until the statue talks to her. Is she overworked? Or crazy? Or both?

“‘Clay Feet’ is ...[filled with] clever dialogue and interesting questions about the intersection of the classical world with the modern”—The Good, the Bad, and the Unread

Includes the complete bonus story, “Elvis at the White House.”

Kristine Kathryn Rusch’s occasionally strange stories have appeared in a variety of genres under a variety of names. She writes as Kris DeLake, Kristine Grayson, and Kristine Dexter in romance, Kris Nelscott in mystery, and uses her own name, Kristine Kathryn Rusch in science fiction, fantasy, and mystery. Usually she claims all of her short stories, although sometimes she wonders the wisdom of that, despite all the awards and best-of-the-year collections her stories have acquired.
