A Collection of Short Fiction
by Nancy Jane Moore
$4.99 (Collection) ISBN 978-1-61138-258-7
“Break all rules, including these.”
So advises one of the stories in this reprint collection. These stories jump — conscientiously — from a homage to Alexandre Dumas to an action-packed adventure set in the near future. There’s also an epic fantasy or space opera — take your pick — told in aphorisms, a contemplation on death, and a tale of what happens when walls begin to divide a place. As Lyndon Perry wrote of the now-out-of print PS Publishing hardcover edition, “Moore’s style rises above a particular perspective and stands on its own as quality short fiction.”

“Robert Louis Stevenson tells us that ‘we’ve never made a statue worthy of our dreams,’ and that’s happily true, because it keeps writers like Amy hard at work carving new statues… watching her work, and seeing the results, has sent me down to the quarry for a new block of marble myself more than once. Amy’s a prodigious dreamer, and she’s got some statues that are about as worthy as they come.”
