Clarkesworld Books New and Used Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror

This bookstore shut down last year, but we're temporarily open again for orders of $35 or more. Orders will typically be shipped on Tuesday and Saturday. We've cut prices on most of our inventory and magazines. Shipping is a flat rate of $3.50 media mail for US orders.

The point of re-opening is to clear out the remaining inventory that is filling our house. At present, I'm trying to get rid of enough inventory to allow our children to move into a larger bedroom, currently used as storage. So, don't just look at it as simply buying books, you're making two little boys very happy.

 


   

Dragon's Fin Soup
by S. P. Somtow

Trade Paperback

ISBN: 1930235038

List Price: $17.95
Our Price: $12.50


Description:
This new collection from S.P. Somtow deftly combines the elements of speculative fiction and Eastern myth with the substance of mainstream literature. Here shamans, aliens, dung-eating ghosts, mechanical men, murderers, and (of course) dragons cross paths with men and women trapped in the collision course of East and West, tradition and modernism.

Drawing on his own experiences as a Thai native educated in the West, Somtow paints his characters with humor and compassion and emerges as a Magic Realist, with his feet planted firmly in two vastly different cultures.

The title story, "Dragon's Fin Soup," was nominated for a World Fantasy Award while another, "Diamonds Aren't Forever," was nominated for a Sturgeon Award. Somtow is a clasical composer and film-maker, as well as the author of a number of science fiction, fantasy, and horror books.
