Beast of the Heartland BARGAIN
[1568581262]
$5.79

BEAST OF THE HEARTLAND.

by Lucius Shepard.

Redolent with the influence of Hemingway and Conrad, these engrossing stories extend the legacy Shepard has already established through The Jaguar Hunter and The Ends of the Earth, as one of the most provocative writers of short speculative fiction. - Publishers Weekly.

OVERVIEW: This collection begins with the Hugo-winning novella Barnacle Bill the Spacer, and following is A Little Night Music, the creepy tale of a music reviewer writing up some jazz zombies; All the Perfumes of Araby, a mystic, Middle Eastern opium trip; and The Sun Spider, a dark take on classic SF. The collection is finishes up with Human History and Sports in America, but the best-of may have to go to the title piece, Beast of the Heartland, an ingenious tale of a battered boxer on the decline. .
