We're excited to release a new short story collection by author Sonya Taaffe. In Forget the Sleepless Shores readers should expect to be captivated by many ghosts and spirits who inhabit brine, some from tears of heartache and loss, some from strange bodies of water, not necessarily found on the map but definitely discovered through charting a course though the perilous straits of author Taaffe's imagination, which is eerie and queer (by every definition of the word).

Industry Reviews

"Sonya Taaffe is possessed of a singular and brilliant voice, one I have admired (and envied) since I first read her work more than a decade ago. Few living authors have brought to the task of building fantasy and science fiction her keen eye for the intricacies of the sublime and the terrible, the erotic and the weird. Fewer still have approached this work with such an undeniable talent. It is not an exaggeration to say she takes my breath away, like a plunge into deep, cold waters." - Caitln R. Kiernan, World Fantasy and Bram Stoker Award-winning author

"Conscience stalks Oppenheimer as a golem of nuclear glass; passion is laid bare beneath a peat bog; fall and fire claim their own. A girl is moth-light to a throng of ghosts. The sea calls endlessly imperative. The water chooses whom to drown. In Sonya Taaffe's vivid cinema of metamorphoses, the elements themselves have eyes. Watch now and wonder." - Greer Gilman, World Fantasy and James Tiptree Jr. Award-winning author

"Drowns the reader in watery imagery and complex sensory landscapes while exploring the theme of mundane relationships transformed by the intrusion of the mystical and uncanny." - Publishers Weekly
