Named as one of ’50 Writers You Should Read Now’ by The Guardian. A mind-bending short-story collection from award-winning science fiction author Nina Allan.A collection of short stories from the award-winning author of The Rift and The Dollmaker, Nina Allan. This compilation brings together rarely seen tales spanning the vast breadth of Allan’s writing career for the first time. It also includes a brand-new introduction and one never-before-published story. Locus has described Nina as ‘a subversive writer… playing with both the familiar protocols of genre and with the nature of the reading experience itself.’ This is a stunning collection from one of the most astute and innovative voices writing today.
Praise for The Art of Space Travel and Other Stories:“Nina Allan is a writer of rare talent. The Art of Space Travel addresses life’s biggest questions with such delicacy and tenderness that you won’t fear staring into the abyss.” – Alma Katsu, author of The Hunger and The Deep“Nina Allan is a great writer of the fantastic, here to remind us how weird it is to be alive. Her stories have a quiet urgency to them; they are moving and gripping and wholly themselves. Their strangeness helps us make sense of our own. This is a rare collection, to read, to ponder, to treasure.” – Francesco Dimitri, author of The Book of Hidden ThingsPraise for Nina Allan:“A captivating exploration of community, tragedy and memory. Nina Allan’s writing is enthralling.” -Irenosen Okojie, on The Good Neighbours“A fantastic book” -Andrew O’Hagan, on The Dollmaker“Her literary sensibility fuses the fantastic and the mundane to great effect” –The Guardian, on The Dollmaker“A subversive writer…playing with both the familiar protocols of genre and with the nature of the reading experience itself” –Locus, on The Rift“Brilliantly ambiguous” -Tor.com, on The Rift“One of the best books published this year in any genre” -Strange Horizons, on The Rift
