Title: William S. Burroughs meets the Men in Black
Review: Jay Lake is a hot, new, and prolific writer of short fiction in the science fiction, fantasy, and horror genres. You will hear more about him in the future (he's publishing like 30 short stories a year!). This is his first story collection and includes both new work and reprints spanning a range of genres and a range of styles. We have subtle horror in "Tall Spirits, Blocking the Night" to space opera in the "Murasaki Doctrine" to who-knows-what-it-is-but-it-is-good in "The Trick of Disaster." Other intriguing stories include "Jack's House" and "The Goat Cutter" and "The Angle of My Dreams." Two sophisticated far-future sf stories bookend the collection. There's also a foreward by World Fantasy award winner Andy Duncan.The illustrations by Frank Wu are good and add an element to this book that similar books do not have.
