Reviews
“Ranges from haunting horror and biting near-cotemporary social commentary to high fantasy and far-future SF, all amply demonstrating his mastery of trademark ironic twists of plot and characterization.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review on Starwater Strains
“Short story master Gene Wolfe’s latest collection, Starwater Strains, is a great companion piece to his collection from last year, Innocents Aboard . . . . Pure Wolfian excellence.” —Bookpage
“Gene Wolfe being Gene Wolfe, to say this book is worth its price is to offer faint praise indeed. His prose is limpid, his characters and scenes convincing no matter how outré, his imagination extraordinary in its range and strangeness, his mind remarkable for originality and perceptiveness. This one is essential to your collection. It is also the perfect gift for anyone who asks you, “Who’s this Gene Wolfe guy?” —Analog
