Cover Text:

Collected here at last is all of Tim Powers' short fiction. Though known as a novelist, Powers has over the years written some powerful short stories - here are "Night Moves" and (written in collaboration with James P. Blaylock) "The Better Boy", both finalists for the World Fantasy Award; here too is "Where They Are Hid", previously available only in an expensive limited edition, now out of print.

In his short stories Powers explores the same kind of territory as he does in his novels - in these pages you'll find the wildly inventive plots, the fascinating characters, and the vivid intrusion of the supernatural into the real world that have earned Powers an enthusiastic readership in a dozen countries.
