Description
Is it the end of the world? Or is it just... nothing?
A woman tries in vain to convince those around her that the world is ending. Is she right... or is she losing her mind?
A slipstream / fantasy short story from a multi-award winning author.
"One of Canada's most original writers of speculative fiction."
-- Library Journal
"Doug Smith is, quite simply, the finest short-story writer Canada has ever produced in the science fiction and fantasy genres, and he's also the most prolific. His stories are a treasure trove of riches that will touch your heart while making you think."
-- Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of Hominids and FlashForward
"A great storyteller with a gifted and individual voice."
-- Charles de Lint
"Smith paints his worlds so well that you are transported within a paragraph or two and remain in transit until the story ends."
-- Broken Pencil, The Magazine of Zine Culture and the Independent Arts
"With every new story, the more impressed I am with [Smith's] subtlety and vision. I've yet to read a work of his that wasn't beautifully written, but more than that, his stories resonate with a deep understanding of the human condition as well as a characteristic wry wonder... Stories you can't forget, even years later."
-- Julie Czerneda, award-winning author and editor, SF Signal interview
"Douglas Smith is an extraordinary author whom every lover of quality speculative fiction should read."
-- Fantasy Book Critic
"Smith is definitely an author who deserves to be more widely read."
-- Strange Horizons
"An ambitious and adventurous new writer."
-- Gardner Dozois, author and editor
