"Bizarre, sometimes whimsical, often nightmarish, usually surreal, the stories of Robert Freeman Wexler possess the sublime logic of dreams, which makes them hard to describe but wonderfully unsettling to read."--Lisa Tuttle
No one charts the borderland between dreams and reality, between the everyday and the fantastic, quite like Robert Freeman Wexler. This career-spanning collection of his shorter work--which includes the much-acclaimed novella "In Springfield Town" as well as new, previously unpublished stories--confirms Jeff VanderMeer's assessment of Wexler as the leading exponent of "North American Surrealism." "Emotionally and stylistically complex literary fairy tales . . . reminiscent of Jonathan Swift or Jorge Luis Borges, and in all ways fantastic."--Steve Rasnic Tem
