Publisher: HW Press Format: Trade Paperback Length: 356 pages This edition is limited to 300 softcover copies signed by Lucy A. Snyder and Nalo Hopkinson. Publisher description: Artwork by Deena Warner! This debut collection of seventeen short stories, seven poems and four humor essays from Lucy A. Snyder will appeal to any reader of the dark fantastic. By turns touching, chilling, surreal, wryly satiric, seductive, macabre and laugh-out-loud funny, this book will take you from adventures in the farthest reaches of outer space to the darkest shadows beneath the surface of modern America. "(Lucy's) sense of justice comes across strongly in her writing. Some of her characters are the very embodiment of 'I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this any more!' Lucy also doesn't forget for a minute that bad things can happen to good people. Lucy can write a poem about a one-horse twin. She can make Girl Guide songs kinky without changing a word. But, not content with leaving it at that, she can spin off from the songs into a surreal futuristic feminine fantasy with a James Bond bravura. I'm pleased to welcome you, via this collection, into her brain. It's a bacchanalia in there. And I must tell you; you may never find your way out again." — Nalo Hopkinson, from her introduction "Lucy Snyder's writings are a sampler of fine candies: alternately dark, textured, and deliciously erotic. With a unique blend of science fiction, horror, commentary, and poetry, she serves up whimsy, angst, and intelligence, while leaving an aftertaste of happiness." — Matthew Warner, author of Eyes Everywhere "Lucy Snyder's Sparks and Shadows is everything you could want in a short story collection. Elegant, beautiful prose, deep emotional writing and powerful stories. Do yourself a favor and grab this one!" — James A. Moore, author of Blood Red and Serenity Falls Availability: Usually ships within 2-3 business days. Retail price: $18.95 |
