Industry Reviews

"This is a book that says the literature of imagination is the oldest, most enriching form of storytelling our mere species has ever conceived. It is eternal. It is the wellspring of ideas that sooner or later sweeten the elixir of mainstream writing."-Harlan Ellison, from the Introduction
