CITH is an anarchic group of New York City writers celebrating their fifteenth year. Members have published hundreds of short stories, poems and illustrations; and over forty other books. Award-winning author Terry Bisson calls them "some of the most accomplished of today's new voices in Fantasy, SF and Horror."

CIRCLES IN THE HAIR, an anthology by the members of CITH, features the work of Linda Addison, winner of the Bram Stoker Award for Consumed Reduced to Beautiful Grey Ashes; Keith R. A. DeCandido, author of The Brave and The Bold; Gerard Houarner, author of Road to Hell; Gordon Linzner, editor of Space and Time Magazine and contributor to the World Fantasy Award-winning collection Museum of Horrors; plus many more...

The stories are set in times as distant as Bronze Age China and the far flung future; and in places as strange as a courthouse in Brooklyn and the Edge of the universe. Meet a were-moose, aboriginal spirits, a fetal vampire, and the devil's mother-in-law. These stories, poems and illustrations evoke laughter, tears, shivers and thoughtfulness. Read about:
  • the involuntary hairdo that may hold the answers to the deepest questions of the universe
  • a Banshee that comes only for certain people...and they know who they are
  • the macho bully who gets his comeuppance from a sea creature even stranger than she initially seems
  • a wizard and a soldier who acquire a most unusual companion, with a most unusual sexual request
  • a high school with the most innovative program you've ever imagined...all based on sound scientific principles.
  • An intergalactic bar patron in lust with the bartender's "lively" hair
  • The match between a clever would-be grandmother and a she-devil in designer clothes
  • The consequences of tying one soul to another for eternity
"Open and read. Enjoy this gourmet sampling of the boldest and most accomplished of today's new voices in Fantasy, SF and Horror. CIRCLES IN THE HAIR -– a delight to read." - Terry Bisson, Nebula and Hugo Award-winning author

"The greatest puzzle about CITH is not its name, or the group's longevity or their willingness to navigate the wilds of New York City in order to regularly meet and critique. The greatest puzzle about CITH is something even more amazing: the quality and variety of their output. Read all these stories and poems and marvel at the puzzle that is CITH. You'll have plenty of company...including me..."- Nancy Kress, Nebula and Hugo Award-winning author
