Tales of Pain and Wonder

$25 · Offered by Gauntlet Press

Now available, the highly anticipated first short story collection by the award-winning author of Silk , Caitlí­n R. Kiernan. Tales of Pain and Wonder are twenty one short stories, a number written expressly for this Gauntlet signed limited edition (right now the only edition available). Through the unflinching lens of her exquisite prose, in Tales of Pain and Wonder Kiernan explores a surreal world where the fantastic and the mundane are never separated by more than the insubstantial thickness of a shadow. From the murderous back streets of New Orleans to an abandoned shipyard on the Hudson River, from sun-weary Los Angeles to a maze of dank and forgotten tunnels beneath Manhattan, these stories present a landscape at once alien and undeniably familiar. Richard Kirk furnishes cover and interior art, Douglas E. Winter provides an introduction and Peter Straub an afterword. The book is signed by all four .
