Last Summer at Mars Hill

This is Elizabeth Hand's long-awaited collection of short stories, centered around her Nebula and World Fantasy Award-winning novella The Last Summer at Mars Hill. There are 12 pieces in all here, ranging from those first published in places like Interzoneand Pulphouseto a two-page poem taken from the pages of Asimov's. Although many readers may be familiar with Hand's longer works, such as Glimmeringor Waking the Moon, here she shows that she's a master of short fiction as well. Her stylish prose and keen insights make for some wonderful stories. —Craig E. Engler
