From Library Journal

Genetic manipulation and experimentation, alien contact, life on the highway to Hell, and the fourth dimension are a few of the subjects Bear tackles with his vivid imagination in this collection of nine stories and one essay that includes his award-winning "Blood Music," a new story entitled "Sisters," and revised versions of "Dead Run" and "A Martian Ricorso." Libraries that have missed the author's short fiction will want this.
