About this title

Review

"Her fiction is ambitious and brilliantly executed. Cadigan is a major talent." --William Gibson"Cadigan knows the difference between what's real and what matters. Crank it up, play it loud." --Michael Swanwick"When you read Pat Cadigan's stories, you'll swear she's been 1) a psychopath, 2) a pimp, 3) a junkie, 4) to Mars, because she can write so well of places you don't ever want to visit and people you "nevereverever" want to meet. She hasn't been any of those things; what she is is another typical beautiful genius Supermom from K.C. whose works cause me to bite holes in my desk every time I read a new one." --Howard Waldrop"I can't think of another writer who makes such exacting work look so easy. She is the master of the arched eyebrow, the hoarse whisper, the cut that takes a very long time to bleed." --Lewis Shiner
