Part One of the complete Aldiss Short Stories from the 1980s. A must-have for collectors, reissued as part of the Brian Aldiss Collection. This collection gathers together, for the very first time, Brian Aldiss' complete catalogue of short stories from the 1980s, in two parts. Taken from diverse and often rare sources, the works in this collection chart the career of one of Britain's most beloved authors.

The two parts of the 1980s short story collection are must-have volumes for all Aldiss fans, and an excellent introduction to the work of a true master.
