Strange Travelers
by Gene Wolfe

Description:
Gene Wolfe is producing the most significant body of short fiction of any living writer in the SF genre. Some of his stories are science fiction, some fantasy, some horrific; all are powerfully affecting. It has been ten years since the last major Wolfe collection, and so Strange Travelers contains a whole decade of achievement, including: Bed and Breakfast, which begins with the line, "I know an old couple who live near Hell"; And When They Appear, a Christmas story that will break your heart; and The Ziggurat, a novella about an invasion." "Some of these stories were award nominees, some were controversial, all are unique and beautifully written. This is one of the finest short fiction collections by any American writer of the 1990s.
