The Island of Dr. Death and Other Stories and Other Stories

by Gene Wolfe

The Island of Dr. Death and Other Stories and Other Stories Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A superb collection of science fiction and fantasy stories, The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories and Other Stories is a book that transcends all genre definitions. The stories within are mined with depth charges, explosions of meaning and illumination that will keep you thinking and feeling long after you have finished reading.

Synopsis:

A reprint of the now-scarce collection of Wolfe's classic early short stories, this companion volume to "Castle of Days" presents "some of the best American short stories of the decade" (Ursula K. Le Guin). Gene Wolfe is a two-time winner of the Nebula Award and is author of "Peace" and "The Book of the New Sun."
