This bookstore shut down last year, but we're temporarily open again NOW THROUGH JULY 31st for customers placing orders of $35 or more. Shipments will go out twice per week (typically Tuesday and Saturday). We've cut prices on most of our inventory and magazines will be sold at a 20% discount, which will be calculated after your order is placed. Shipping is a flat rate of $3.50 media mail for US orders.

Every sale should have a goal. This time, the goal is to free up enough space in the office that I can give that (bigger) bedroom to my two boys, Aidan and Eamonn. So, don't just look at it as simply buying books, you're making two little boys very happy.

 


   

Dragon's Fin Soup
by S. P. Somtow

Trade Paperback

Publisher: Babbage Press (2000)
ISBN: 1930235038

List Price: $17.95
Our Price: $12.50


Description:
This new collection from S.P. Somtow deftly combines the elements of speculative fiction and Eastern myth with the substance of mainstream literature. Here shamans, aliens, dung-eating ghosts, mechanical men, murderers, and (of course) dragons cross paths with men and women trapped in the collision course of East and West, tradition and modernism.

Drawing on his own experiences as a Thai native educated in the West, Somtow paints his characters with humor and compassion and emerges as a Magic Realist, with his feet planted firmly in two vastly different cultures.

The title story, "Dragon's Fin Soup," was nominated for a World Fantasy Award while another, "Diamonds Aren't Forever," was nominated for a Sturgeon Award. Somtow is a clasical composer and film-maker, as well as the author of a number of science fiction, fantasy, and horror books.
