Unsettling, dark and brilliantly astute, these weird and wonderful tales take us on journeys through time and space to explore enduring questions of memory and loss.

Her stories have a quiet urgency to them; they are moving and gripping and wholly themselves. Their strangeness helps us make sense of our own. This is a rare collection, to read, to ponder, to treasure. - Francesco Dimitri, author of <i>The Book of Hidden Things</i> <p/>I'm in awe of Nina Allan's storytelling. Each richly detailed tale hints at a far wider world, and many contain stories with stories, realities within realities, warping genre boundaries yet retaining a focus on entirely believable characters and, often, the contemplation of loss. Put simply, these are some of the best modern short stories I've read. - Tim Major, author of <i>Hope Island</i> <p/>One of the most able SF talents in science fiction. - <i>The Times</i> <p/><b>Praise for Nina Allan: <br></b><br>A captivating exploration of community, tragedy and memory. Nina Allan's writing is enthralling. - Irenosen Okojie, on <i>The Good Neighbours</i> <p/>A fantastic book - Andrew O'Hagan, on <i>The Dollmaker</i> <p/>Her literary sensibility fuses the fantastic and the mundane to great effect - <i>The Guardian, </i>on <i>The Dollmaker</i> <p/>A subversive writer...playing with both the familiar protocols of genre and with the nature of the reading experience itself - <i>Locus, </i>on <i>The Rift</i> <p/>Brilliantly ambiguous - Tor.com, on <i>The Rift</i> <p/>One of the best books published this year in any genre - Strange Horizons, on <i>The Rift</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Nina Allan'</b>s debut novel <i>The Race</i> was shortlisted for the John W. Campbell Memorial Award, the BSFA Award and the Kitschies Red Tentacle. Her follow-up <i>The Rift</i> won the BSFA Award and the Kitschies Red Tentacle.
