Sixteen stories of fantasy and science fiction that take you from love in fourteenth-century Japan to humanity's last stand, from virtual reality to the end of reality, from alien drug addictions to a dinner where a man loses everything.
Chimerascope includes the following stories: Scream Angel | The Red Bird | By Her Hand, She Draws You Down | New Year's Eve | Out of the Light | State of Disorder | The Boys Are Back in Town | Symphony | Enlightenment | Nothing | Jigsaw | Going Harvey in the Big House | The Last Ride | The Dancer at the Red Door | A Taste Sweet and Salty | Memories of the Dead Man
"His stories are a treasure trove of riches that will touch your heart while making you think." —Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author
"A massively enjoyable trek…all filtered through Smith's remarkable imagination and prodigious talent." —Quill and Quire (starred review)
"The 16 stories in this collection showcase the inventive mind and immense storytelling talent of one of Canada's most original writers of speculative fiction."—Library Journal
"An entertaining selection of stories that deftly span multiple genres." —Publishers Weekly
