From Weird and Distant Shores: This collection of fourteen short stories and one fragment by Caitlin R. Kiernan spans the fields of fantasy, dark fantasy, and science fiction. These stories include some of Kiernan's early and hard-to-find work, and explore the limits of the 'theme' and 'shared-world' anthology. The collection includes stories such as 'Emptiness Spoke Eloquent' and 'Persephone,' as well as Kiernan's first ever collaboration with Poppy Z. Brite.
