Mars Hill spiritualist community, founded 1883 It's nothing fancy. Just a faded resort on the rocky Maine Coast, inhabited by aging hippies, their rebellious children--and the elusive, shimmering spirits known as "the Golden Ones." They are the reason Mars Hill exists. Not everyone can see Them, but everyone can feel their healing presence. Even fetching, skeptical, young Moony Rising, who has come to say farewell to everything she ever loved. And to learn a secret more wondrous than love itself...

"Hand's stories may be too remorsely depressing for many readers....But readers interested in Hand's themes--the relations between men and women, the devastation caused by breast cancer and AIDS, the roles myths play in an increasingly secular age--will find "Last Summer at Mars Hill" an important collection. Elizabeth Hand's work definitively refutes the notion that science fiction is not literate."

Martin Morse Wooster, Book World, 11/1/1998

"The intensity of the stories in "Last Summer at Mars Hill" is often uncomfortably high, but Hand makes the experience more than worthwhile."
