Innocents Aboard New Fantasy Stories

<p><b>Gene Wolfe may be the single best writer in fantasy and SF of his generation. From <i>The Book of the Long Sun </i>to <i>The Book of the New Sun</i> series, to his impressive short fiction oeuvre. </b><br><br><i>Innocents Aboard</i> gathers fantasy and horror stories from the last decade that have never before been in a Wolfe collection. Highlights from the twenty-two stories include "The Tree is my Hat," adventure and horror in the South Seas, "The Night Chough," a Long Sun story, "The Walking Sticks," a darkly humorous tale of a supernatural inheritance, and "Houston, 1943," lurid adventures in a dream that has no end. This is fantastic fiction at its best.</p>
