About this ebook
An “unpredictable, brilliantly imaginative, and very engaging” collection of dark fantasy and sci-fi stories by the acclaimed author of Chrysanthe (Ursula K. Le Guin).
In these fourteen stories, ranging from baroque science fiction to bleak fantasy, Yves Meynard brings to life wonders and horrors. From space travelers who must rid themselves of the sins their souls accumulate in transit to a young man whose love transcends time; from refugees in a frozen hold at the end of space to a city drowning under the weight of its architectural prayer; from an alien Jerusalem that has corrupted the Earth to a land still bleeding from the scars of a supernatural war, here are windows opened onto astonishing vistas, stories written with a scientist’s laser focus alloyed with a poet’s sensibilities.
“These stories cover a vast range. . . . Some are fantasy, some are science fiction, and many of them cover an interesting middle ground between the two—a form I think of as myths of the future, and of which Meynard has a special mastery.” —Jo Walton, from the introduction
