Reviews
Known for dark fantasy that skates the edge of horror, Kiernan (Tales of Pain and Wonder) turns to science fiction with equally unsettling effects in these eight stories. The mostly off-screen aliens in Zero Summer, The Pearl Diver and Bradbury Weather seem oddly tentative compared to the fully realized monsters of Kiernans fantasy tales, and Riding the White Bull, In View of Nothing and Ode to Katan Amano focus on fraught relationships more than their isolated, almost sterile settings. Fans of Kiernans fantasy will be more drawn to two poignant rejoinders to stories of post-human glory: Faces in Revolving Souls, wherein a woman is isolated from her smug new culture by surgical rejection, and A Season of Broken Dolls, whose nameless protagonist is fascinated and revolted by art made of people. (Jan.)
