Feeling Very Strange

"Oh, these stories!... Don't stop until all have been read." --Booklist, starred review "Is Slipstream just science fiction and fantasy that doesn't know that it's science fiction or fantasy? Or is it more than that? Decide for yourself by slipping into short stories that are superb, whatever you choose to call them, from Lethem, VanderMeer, Chabon, Waldrop, and others." --SciFi.com "At last we have our definitive collection... And once again, we can rejoice that revolution after revolution will be printed, not televised." --The Agony Column "Worth buying? Well if you want to be the hippest cat on the block, then yes." --SF Crowsnest "Intriguing stories...plenty of good reading." --Publishers Weekly "Leave it to Tachyon, one of the most exhilarating and intellectually probing small presses, to put out a book like this. We hope it makes its way out of what the editors call the "ghetto of the fantastic" and into the mainstream. This book is a joy and could easily become a staple of college syllabi in the not-so-distant future." --Time Out Chicago "...whether you're interested in the boundaries of slipstream or not, Feeling Very Strange is a terrific collection of stories..." --Intergalactic Medicine Show "If you read the contents of Feeling Very Strange in linear order (I recommend that you do), you will actually have a nonlinear, information-building, increasingly exhilarating experience." --Science Fiction Studies, Vol. 34 "I've seldom read an anthology in which every story works so well both as a stand-alone and as an element in a greater whole. Heed its contributors and marvel that so diverse a group sings such fine distinctive solos and yet harmonizes so well. Credit Kessel and Kelly, too, for the grace of their introduction, the art of the book's arrangement, and the modesty of their editorial presence." --Michael Bishop "I expect to wake up as a giant cockroach tomorrow morning. Can anything really be better than that?" --Reading the Leaves
