Over the past few decades, Lisa Tuttle has quietly established her place as one of today''s very best writers of weird and horror fiction. Her previous collection, The Dead Hours of Night, was a finalist for the Bram Stoker Award, and now she is back with this new volume containing twelve more unsettling tales. In ''Bits and Pieces'', a woman is surprised to find her lover has left behind his foot in her bed, but it''s only the first of many macabre mementoes.

These and nine other weird and often frightening tales showcase Lisa Tuttle''s unique ability to disturb and unnerve her readers. This collection also includes the rare novella ''The Dragon''s Bride'', newly revised and expanded for this edition, and an introduction by Neil Gaiman, who has called Lisa Tuttle ''the finest practitioner of unsettling fiction writing today''.

What if the logic of the world reflected the bizarre logic of the unconscious?

So schön das blaugrüne Cover mit den schwerelos dahingleitenden Flugmenschen anzusehen ist, so träumerisch leicht liest sich dieser FantasyRoman über das in 3 Novellen erzählte Leben der Fliegerin Maris. Auf Windhaven, einem Wasserplaneten mit vielen Inseln, leben die Landgebundenen und die Flieger. Aufgrund alter Traditionen wird Maris der Traum vom Fliegen verwehrt. Doch sie kämpft um ihre Flügel. Durch die Gründung von FlugAkademien will sie den nichtprivilegierten Landgebundenen den Aufstieg in die Fliegergilde ermöglichen. Nach weiteren Auseinandersetzungen gelingt der alternden Maris, die nach einer erfüllten Flugkarriere nicht mehr fliegen kann, im gemeinsamen Kampf gegen einen Inseltyrannen die Annäherung der verfeindeten Gruppen. Dass Fantasyromane sich nicht immer über mehrere Bände erstrecken und mit Magiern, Elfen und Gnomen aufwarten müssen, beweist Martins lesenswertes Buch. Allen Bibliotheken empfohlen.
