Industry Reviews

'Half a million words of world-class storytelling.' -- Lisa Tuttle THE TIMES "Pure genius storytelling. Martin's trophy cabinet may be impressive, but your bookshelf will be just as awe-inspiring if you splash out for this collection. An essential purchase." -- Sam Ashurst SFX "There is an immense amount of genius in this volume, too much almost to actually get through. A 1,200 page bag-breaker, but it's worth the backpain." -- Anthony Brown STARBURST "Martin is a major influence within the speculative field, surely on his way to Grand Master status if he continues to produce writing of such quality, and Dreamsongs is a major body of work, one that feels like a career summation for his short fiction. It's a must-have for any serious student of speculative literature." STRANGE HORIZONS
