Book Overview

For the first time ever, the complete short fiction of literary legend James Sallis is collected in one gorgeous volume--a must-have gift for the crime, mystery, or speculative fiction fan in your life.

Published over the six decades of Sallis's storied career, the complete collection contains 154 stories, 11 of which are exclusive to this volume.

By all accounts, James Sallis is a multi-hyphenate, once-in-a-generation thinker--an innovator of multiple genres, styles, and forms. Lit Hub has compared Sallis to contemporaries Don DeLillo and Thomas Pynchon. While he is revered as a literary godfather of the crime and noir genres--his contributions including such works Drive, now a cult-classic film, and his Lew Griffin series--he is equally respected among speculative fiction practitioners for the work he began publishing in science fiction magazines in the 1960s. He is recognized for his uncompromising craft, and for the poetry, philosophy, and empathy he imbues in each glittering moment. Now, for the first time ever, Sallis's complete short fiction--154 stories--is collected in one gorgeous volume--a must-have library addition for readers of speculative fiction and noir, and for writers of all genres.
