To Charles Fort, With Love
by Caitlín R. Kiernan
To Charles Fort, With Love is Caitlín R. Kiernan's third collection of short fiction, a haunting parade of the terrible things which may lie beyond the boundaries of science, the minds which may exist beyond psychology, and the forbidden places which will never be located in any orthodox globe. To quote the object of Kiernan's affection, meta-poet and arch-enemy of dogma Charles Hoy Fort, 'The little harlots will caper, and freaks will distract attention, and the clowns will break the rhythm of the whole with their buffooneries -- but the solidity of the procession as a whole: the impressiveness of things that pass and pass and pass, and keep on and keep on and keep on coming. ' A deceptively even dozen, this collection includes Kiernan's stories 'Onion' and 'Andromeda Among the Stones,' as well as a number of more obscure pieces.
