About This Book
The first story in this collection of the author's best short fiction, Millennium Babies, looks at the losers, the infants who are not the first born in the New Year. Then in the novella The Gallery of His Dreams, a finalist for the Nebula, Hugo, and World Fantasy Awards, the life and talent of Matthew Brady, a daguerreotype photographer who photographs the horrors of future wars and atrocities in order to preserve the past, is detailed. The collection also includes Skin Deep, Echea, Coolhunting, Going Native, Harvest, Strange Creatures, Monuments of the Dead, Spirit Guides, and Burial Detail.Author Biography: Kristine Kathryn Rusch is the author of over 50 novels, including Utterly Charming, X-Men, Star Wars, and Star Trek. She lives in Lincoln City, Oregon. I've always been fascinated by [Rusch's] ability to tell a story with that enviable gift of invisible prose. She's one of the few writers whose style takes me right into the story-the words and pages disappear as the characters and their story swallows me whole. (Charles de Lint)
